"Jimmy the Brooding Gunman"

(Also sung to the tune of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

By Beth

Jimmy the brooding gunman
Had a very shiny gun.
And if he ever drew it,
You'd better turn around and run.

None of the other riders
Could match his skill when firing shots.
But they always trusted Jimmy;
He'd be there for them - on the spot.

Jimmy had a tortured past;
He could never rest.
Just when he would feel alright,
A drifter would demand a fight.

Then Jimmy'd have to face him -
He knew it was his destiny.
Unfortunately for Hickok,
He'd go down in history.
