"Wal, we had a time in movin';

Things got mixed up in the rush;

Lead team broke a piece of harness

Pulling through the underbrush.

Then the wagon turned clean over,

But we drug her plumb across,

Hitched with ropes and other fixin's,

Usin' every extra hoss.

Wal, you never heard such shootin',

Bullets whizzin' everywhere;

Pumped 'em on us till it sounded

Like they had an army there.

Nancy stayed and cracked it to 'em,

Kind o' circlin' round and round;

I could tell the two six-shooters

She was usin', by the sound.

"You can bet we did some trav'lin'

All that night and all next day;
