A Tale of Three Friends

Three amigos went to town

Dressed in their finest clothes

With payday bulging in their pockets,

Following their nose.

They stepped into a local bar

And plopped their money down

For a bottle full of whiskey

So they could paint the town.

Jingling spurs were on their boots

And hats sat on their head;

They planned to have a good old time

Before they went to bed.

They met three ladies painted bright

And then commenced to dancing;

They were whooping and a hollering,

You should have seen them prancing!

But, three bad hombres took offence

At the noise they were making

And seeing they had money

Thought it would be easy taking

So, they picked a fight which moved outside;

The crowd right there observing

To see what these young friends might do;

The scene was quite unnerving.

When one bad hombre said to them,

"We're here to spoil your fun!"

To which replied one of the three,

"Why, the fun has just begun!"

Three cowboys out to paint the town

After weeks out in the brush

Weren't about to let three local toughs

Take them in a rush.

They met the onslaught like old pros

With fighting in their blood

And left those hombres in the street

Just lying in the mud.

The three then headed back inside

With the ladies on their arms,

Exhibiting for them to see

Their simple cowboy charms.

They danced and sang throughout the night

Until they shut the old place down

Then the three amigos caught their mounts

And headed out of town

With empty pockets, bellies full

And tales of what they'd done;

Their ride was full of laughter

Just reciting all the fun.
