Old West Epitaphs
« on: March 05, 2004, 09:05:50 AM »
Here's a few for starters.  Anyone else have some favorites (other than "...no Les no more.")?


FOUR TEXAS TRAIN ROBBERS
Four Texas train robbers are buried here,
No one knows what their names were,
Two Texas Rangers and a posse from town
Came out one night and mowed them down,
They are buried here, just as they fell,
We hope their souls are not in hell!

MINOR OWENS
He lived through an age when the gun was the law,
And none could beat this man on the draw,
In Supai Canyon the desert got 'im,
But Minor Owens is not forgotten.

THREE FINGERED BLACK JACK
Three fingered Black Jack!  Now he was a gent,
With murder in his eye and a soul hell-bent!
He met his death in a canyon pass,
It took fifty men to get him at last.

In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery
Here lays Butch,
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger,
But slow on the draw.


In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery
Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising.


Boot Hill Cemetery, Arizona...
He was young
He was fair
But the Injuns
Raised his hair.

Silver City, Nevada...
Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek.
Careful is a naked man climbin' a bobwire fence.
