Rockland Abilene Dodge City and now here
what I've been worried about you
a lawman bills your kind of reputation
he don't live too long what are you
doing here
what honest work
you're looking at the present Foreman of
the Argonauts spread just drove in a
herd of cattle.
Argonaut that's Joshua McLeod's out
there he hired you Oh Oh Josh ain't that
very kind
he don't hold little mistake against a
man are you sent me to the pen Lord but
I served my time and got out for good
behavior
me good behavior old Josh must be hurt
worse than I heard how was he why still
in a wheelchair but it's getting better
getting better of course he couldn't
come on this cattle drive but his boy
did you hearin Tom it sure is I want to
tell you that that boy's a tonic to
himself poison to everybody else me up
your mind yet marshal well it looks like
it's in pretty fair condition you are
buying a buckboard fare
where you going it's brand new
almost almost how much you want for it
what do you want with a buck foot.
Oh take you 65 got yourself a deal I'll
pick it up in the morning no I'm I'm
quitting tomorrow quitting and getting
married leaving town
congratulations morg
that'll make us both happy you because
you have your own little woman by your
side and starting off on a nice new dull
life someplace else and me because uh I
ain't gonna partial to towns where you
ain't marshal.
Oh Oh II you just told me some awful
important I wish I knew what it was I
just want you to remember that tomorrow
we have a new marshal
a good one so whatever you've got up
your sleeve
don't try it here more you got a narrow
suspicious mind
it's a pity of the shame all right.
Charlie make your offer and make it good
the best I can do is $30 a head dog
crossed me for Tia heads to go on price
for cattle in good condition you've
driven that herd down to skin and bones
you're a liar dirty ahead I Drive on a.

we're going to know each other much
better oh I know you're already spoken

Thanks
[Music]
Ork
well Josh will have to be informed but a
guilt any money I paid kill for the
cattle someone will have to write up
give it to old Josh yeah what I'm trying
to say is give the money to me and I'll
turn it into a bag draft then I'll write
an Odin set it along with the dry up to
old Josh you know a note explaining how.
Gill died and well how it wasn't your
fault it's one way to do it there's
another way
maura that new marshal beer lady mantle
whole thing not very clean but it's
another way out come or you gotta choose
one way or the other unless you want to
ride out and tell old Josh yourself
that'd be a foolproof way of getting
yourself killed I don't want to get
killed I don't want to even see the old
man's face when he finds out about guilt
all I want to do is get married find a
home for Ellie and me.
[Music]
Or again.
[Music]
All alone in the dark is the prospect of
marrying me that dismal you know better
than that.
Gil MacLeod Gill MacLeod darling why
didn't you come to me love means that
you share things together the bad as
well as the good Ellie you know Joshua.
MacLeod took in a small orphan boy
raised him with all the affection of his
own son you know that boy was me I know
and I know how miserable you feel
and you'll understand why we have to
postpone our marriage because I won't be
here tomorrow I'm riding out to see Josh
no I don't understand you're going to
tell the man who raised you that you
killed his son it's better if he hears
it for me
better for you or for me and if his
answer is to kill you
well will it be better if he comes and
tells me about it I don't tell him it's
like running away what kind of a man
does that make me kind of a husband for
you
gave up being Marshall to Mary but you
really haven't changed you still want to
be a target and if Josh MacLeod doesn't
kill you where you'll find another time
and another place and Sunday someday
someone's going to find that target
didn't want to stop
[Music]
As soon as I see Josh I promise I'll
come back to you for good
you'll come back if you survive well
that's not good enough.
I'm not going to begin my life by
waiting for the man I love and wondering
how I'll look in black to buy more

thought you might be lonesome don't you
understand
I'm a young girl married to a worn-out
old man no law said you had to Miriam
the law of survival said so
ja well don't be
I had my fill of shock prone gossips
back in st. Louis over perfume drummers
passing through if Betty would marry me
only I learned that he already had a
wife then I met Joshua found out that he
wasn't only an old man but a rich one
you made a good body that's good enough
young woman needs more than what an old
man give her I don't get you Rockland I
never met a man who wouldn't let's just
say brother
let it go are you afraid of what Josh in
the night said I killed Joshua's son and
he's trying to make up his mind now
whether to kill me or not well Gil's no
loss to the world he was still judgment
son you're Joshua's wife go back to the
house
this is MacLeod
what other thing that's my charm don't
seem to appeal to you
you brought the cattle money back to
Joshua does that mean that our trail
hands aren't coming back
one might spot dawn
this is mclubbe thanks for the coffee
you sure you wanna have one after such a
fine meal early man out looking at the
storm why you have to know every move I
make no no okay yeah I just don't want
you to catch a cold
what you know doctor Heathcote uh
hello Heath go I want you to go see him
it'll take you a week but I'd like his
opinion on your legs he's had a lot of
experience with injuries like yours
I'll start morning a bad day bad day
talk quietly
well what went wrong I'm so sick of this
place waiting and waiting for nothing
not for nothing baby get a coat we can
talk better in the bar no there's a man
named Rockland out there he killed.
Gillen got the money back the money that
you said you'd get I said it and I will
and more besides it was Rockland who
told Joshua about Gil right right and
he's been drinking ever since and stuff
now he's gonna get drunker
what do you mean that money and more
beside you're getting drunk that gives
you a chance to serve the cause see that
Joshua has plenty of whiskey with an
easy reach and see that he keeps using
it that won't be hard
well then do it
maybe I spoke you a little too much on
the child no maybe you wasn't my I
handed it's no excuse for more Glee
killing couldn't have been fast or just
too good with a gun too fast wonderful
wife you lucky man too heavy
hello Warren
hello cool surprised to see me nope

Oh hey no joy and kill him a man when
he's out boost him up and told him
inside being old killing the Argonaut as
long as I'm here oh I'm dead set against
killin mr. McCloud that's why we gotta
stop this here Rockland from killing
again
the way he shot down murdered your son.
Gil legalized murder I say now left to
hear he's all in favor of hanging Burt
he wants to shoot him and only wanted to
do it with a pitchfork quick-like but I
ain't one for killing and good doctor
said he wants to let more Rockland go
scot free let him go on killing young
men like your son mr. McCloud you let a
rattlesnake crawl into your house but
don't you worry none right now we got
him Dee fact but we've got to keep him
defect
this is his Fang his right hand is gun
now you tell me if I've got it straight
dr. Sam these tendons here controller
fingers cut him and Rockland can't work
his hand no more can't shoot no more
can't kill no more so it's up to dr. Sam
he can do a nice slick job throw this
trash out of here Joshua it would have
happened to Gil sooner or later and you
know it
but Rockland came to you and told you
like a man throw them out of here
mr. MacLeod you're a man without a son
now because of Rockland's murder in hand
a proud man like you shouldn't think of
a thing like that
tell dr. Sam to do it Joshua
tell him tell him to do it
do you think I would have anything to do
with it.
I reckon we got no call to ask it that
dr. Sam why don't you just run along
wait you mangle him Wow I ain't got your
skill.

behavior

Ork
well Josh will have to be informed but a
guilt any money I paid kill for the
cattle someone will have to write up
give it to old Josh yeah what I'm trying
to say is give the money to me and I'll
turn it into a bag draft then I'll write
an Odin set it along with the dry up to
old Josh you know a note explaining how.
Gill died and well how it wasn't your
fault it's one way to do it there's
another way
maura that new marshal beer lady mantle
whole thing not very clean but it's
another way out come or you gotta choose
one way or the other unless you want to
ride out and tell old Josh yourself
that'd be a foolproof way of getting
yourself killed I don't want to get
killed I don't want to even see the old
man's face when he finds out about guilt
all I want to do is get married find a
home for Ellie and me.
[Music]
Or again.
[Music]
All alone in the dark is the prospect of
marrying me that dismal you know better
than that.
Gil MacLeod Gill MacLeod darling why
didn't you come to me love means that
you share things together the bad as
well as the good Ellie you know Joshua.
MacLeod took in a small orphan boy
raised him with all the affection of his
own son you know that boy was me I know
and I know how miserable you feel
and you'll understand why we have to
postpone our marriage because I won't be
here tomorrow I'm riding out to see Josh
no I don't understand you're going to
tell the man who raised you that you
killed his son it's better if he hears
it for me
better for you or for me and if his
answer is to kill you
well will it be better if he comes and
tells me about it I don't tell him it's
like running away what kind of a man
does that make me kind of a husband for
you
gave up being Marshall to Mary but you
really haven't changed you still want to
be a target and if Josh MacLeod doesn't
kill you where you'll find another time
and another place and Sunday someday
someone's going to find that target
didn't want to stop
[Music]
As soon as I see Josh I promise I'll
come back to you for good
you'll come back if you survive well
that's not good enough.

waiting for the man I love and wondering
how I'll look in black to buy more

back in st. Louis over perfume drummers
passing through if Betty would marry me
only I learned that he already had a
wife then I met Joshua found out that he
wasn't only an old man but a rich one
you made a good body that's good enough
young woman needs more than what an old
man give her I don't get you Rockland I
never met a man who wouldn't let's just
say brother
let it go are you afraid of what Josh in
the night said I killed Joshua's son and
he's trying to make up his mind now
whether to kill me or not well Gil's no
loss to the world he was still judgment
son you're Joshua's wife go back to the
house
this is MacLeod
what other thing that's my charm don't
seem to appeal to you

fine meal early man out looking at the
storm why you have to know every move I
make no no okay yeah I just don't want

opinion on your legs he's had a lot of
experience with injuries like yours

talk quietly
well what went wrong I'm so sick of this
place waiting and waiting for nothing
not for nothing baby get a coat we can
talk better in the bar no there's a man
named Rockland out there he killed.
Gillen got the money back the money that
you said you'd get I said it and I will
and more besides it was Rockland who
told Joshua about Gil right right and
he's been drinking ever since and stuff
now he's gonna get drunker
what do you mean that money and more
beside you're getting drunk that gives
you a chance to serve the cause see that
Joshua has plenty of whiskey with an
easy reach and see that he keeps using
it that won't be hard
well then do it
maybe I spoke you a little too much on
the child no maybe you wasn't my I
handed it's no excuse for more Glee

inside being old killing the Argonaut as
long as I'm here oh I'm dead set against
killin mr. McCloud that's why we gotta
stop this here Rockland from killing
again
the way he shot down murdered your son.
Gil legalized murder I say now left to
hear he's all in favor of hanging Burt
he wants to shoot him and only wanted to
do it with a pitchfork quick-like but I
ain't one for killing and good doctor
said he wants to let more Rockland go
scot free let him go on killing young
men like your son mr. McCloud you let a
rattlesnake crawl into your house but
don't you worry none right now we got
him Dee fact but we've got to keep him
defect
this is his Fang his right hand is gun
now you tell me if I've got it straight
dr. Sam these tendons here controller
fingers cut him and Rockland can't work
his hand no more can't shoot no more
can't kill no more so it's up to dr. Sam
he can do a nice slick job throw this
trash out of here Joshua it would have
happened to Gil sooner or later and you
know it
but Rockland came to you and told you
like a man throw them out of here
mr. MacLeod you're a man without a son
now because of Rockland's murder in hand
a proud man like you shouldn't think of
a thing like that
tell dr. Sam to do it Joshua
tell him tell him to do it
do you think I would have anything to do
with it.
I reckon we got no call to ask it that
dr. Sam why don't you just run along
wait you mangle him Wow I ain't got your
skill.
