Ghost Train RadioDeath of a Bar Keep
Step right up
Step inside
This is where
The bar keep died
He refused
A drunken man
With a pistol
In his hand
Both men drew
A duel to death
One stood over
The one who left
Bar keeps ghost
Haunted he
For all his days
In eternity
This song is not historical fact but my attempt at a simple Mark Twain (Samuel Clemons) style “Tall Tale” with simple lyrics set to music. Its totally plausible because in most mining towns men carried concealed weapons, and there are many stories of while being drunk, making bad decisions, some times deadly.
