DANGEROUS DAN
By Jerry McKechnie
Dangerous Dan was a very big
man,
And he likes the smell of beer,
He came into the saloon with his
hands on his hips,
And his face showed no sign of
fear.
Everyone was tense, as he came
'walking up
With that dreadful smile of his.
For tonight was the night he was
Whooping it up,
And his stomach was full of beer.
When Dangerous Dan is full of
beer,
You know that danger is very
near.
: He came swaggering up with his
j Hand near his gun.
And we know he was out to have
some fun.
; He spotted a guy back near the
wall,
He looked at him and said with a
drawl,
“I want your hide, don’t try to
stall,
I gotch’a where I wantch’a.”
The friendly guy who we’ll call
Paul,
Wasn’t short or he wasn’t tall.
He stood up and looked Dan in
the face,
Of Paul’s guns I couldn’t see a
trace.
All of a sudden the lights went out
Amid the thundering guns.
“Alas”, poor Dan had met his
match
And the guy named Paul didn’t
have a scratch.
He calmly blew the smoke from
his gun,
And said, with a laugh. “That
was fun.”
