In the Wild West
In an crepuscular Tavern
Two Gunmen meet in the Saloon
The Barmaid was gorgeous
And the Whiskey was fine
The two began to quarrel soon
The Fight was coming soon
The next Day High Noon
No Offtake on no Side
Ruthless cowboy Pride
Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson
decided to solve this
Through the old Means of a Duel
One Man would be dead
And one Man would survive.
So it demands the ancient Rule
Before the cry of the Lark
The two were keen
To meet again at the nineteenth of March
The next Day in Nineteen Hundred Eighteen
Wyatt Earp was on Time
But was somewhat disappointed
His Rival was missed, his clock was wrong
Woodrow Wilson had given
Orders for a great Time Change
With the Purpose to keep the Workforce strong
They cut the Workers Sleep short
In Order to support
The Cowboy Nation’s Strike
To beat the Kaiserreich
Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson
discarded their Cross Draws
They saw: They belong to the Past
The total War
With U Boat, Airplane and Tank
Was on its Way to become a bigger Blast
Two Cowboys crude and raw
Faced the Dawn of industrial War
No Time to draw Breath
History started a new Song from Death
Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp
Are Legends of the West
Among all pionieering Men
They were among the Best
In Times of Chaos, Greed and War
Their Strenght was like a Grapnel
But at the End the Sound of Cow Hoofs
Were displaced by Shrapnels
