Narration 1 Songtext

Narration 1 Songtext
One day on 1881 the Tombstone Epitaph
A booming newspaper in a booming silver mining town
Screamed out the headlines about a gunfight at
The OK Corral right downtown
The headlines read "Murder in the Streets of Tombstone"
Well, that wasn′t such hot news
But more stark and spine-chilling than that was a sight
On the boardwalk in front of the Epitaph building
Neatly laid out in beautiful caskets were the bodies of Tom McLowery
Frank McLowery and young Billy Clanton, 28 years old
A witness at the trial later said that he saw Doc Holliday
Blast away with a nickel plated pistol
And Billy Clanton screamed, "Don't shoot me, I don′t wanna fight"
Today, there's no more silver mining in Tombstone
But up there on Boot Hill, you can see where the graves of the men are
The ones who fought over or because of that big silver strike that created Tombstone
A booming newspaper in a booming silver mining town
Screamed out the headlines about a gunfight at
The OK Corral right downtown
The headlines read "Murder in the Streets of Tombstone"
Well, that wasn′t such hot news
But more stark and spine-chilling than that was a sight
On the boardwalk in front of the Epitaph building
Neatly laid out in beautiful caskets were the bodies of Tom McLowery
Frank McLowery and young Billy Clanton, 28 years old
A witness at the trial later said that he saw Doc Holliday
Blast away with a nickel plated pistol
And Billy Clanton screamed, "Don't shoot me, I don′t wanna fight"
Today, there's no more silver mining in Tombstone
But up there on Boot Hill, you can see where the graves of the men are
The ones who fought over or because of that big silver strike that created Tombstone
