Posse for Helen

This very night the posse did ride

it was the night too make good

on a towns word of warning

against any further violence

it was promised him that

if she was so much as pushed

the town would no longer

consider his drunken excuses

so the posse was gathered

and Dan the husband of Helen

was the prize to be hunted

this time the scars and bruises

where too much to witness

and there had to be some

frontier justice for all the

preacher could do to make

Dan pray and stay away

from the booze was in not

the friends at the ranch gave

Dan the ease up speech

as friends often do for each other

but Dan was just too stubborn

so tonight the posse rides

and it will  ride until morning

with Dan dragged right behind
