A Stroll Through Boot Hill Cemetery

I took a stroll through Boot Hill Cemetery the other day, To take a look at where outlaws and other rabble lay. Some graves were marked by stones, others by weathered board; Many covered with cairns of rock, residents known only by the Lord! As I moseyed through the weeds and brambles from tomb to tomb, I read interestin' epitaphs on how those fellers met their doom! "Here lies the mortal shell of bank robber Tim McGraw; Bad luck for Tim - the bank teller was quicker on the draw!" "Beneath this turf resides big-time gambler Jedidiah Greeves; He played Texas hold-em with too many aces up his sleeves!" "Here dwells 'Hank' Hankston who 'borrowed' the judge's steed; He was hanged from a lone oak tree for this nefarious deed!" "Here inhabits Cletus O'Toole who had a run-in with the law; The high sheriff won the battle on the dusty streets of Wichita!" "Molding in this lonely grave is Joe Bronson, notorious cattle thief; Wranglers dealt with Joe in a hail of lead with whom they had a beef!" "Cody Blanks went on a drunken toot causing mayhem and injury; The judge sentenced him to be hanged as suggested by the jury!" These fellers were planted with their boots on accordin' to local lore; That's why it will be known as Boot Hill Cemetery now and forever more!
