<\/iframe><\/p>\nLyrics are by me Charles Peters \nSinging and Music are by suno.com AI<\/p>\n\u201cThe Ballad of Rainy Crawfish Jones\u201d<\/p>\n[Verse 1] \nWell, the road to Lasso was a ribbon of clay, \nRain kept fallin\u2019 all the livelong day. \nAn Appaloosa mare named Mazer picked her way along, \nCarryin\u2019 Rainy Crawfish Jones where he\u2019d been gone too long. \nHis hat was pulled low, his duster soaked through, \nThat muddy trail remembered everything he\u2019d do.<\/p>\n[Verse 2] \nHenry Oaks stood easy by a weathered porch post, \nAt Mr. Pup\u2019s Saloon where the whiskey flowed most. \nGood-lookin\u2019 in blue jeans with a holster on his side, \nA slow cigar burnin\u2019 with a devil\u2019s kind of pride. \nSheriff Danny Perkins rocked back in his chair, \nYoung enough for dreams, old enough to care.<\/p>\n[Chorus] \nIn Lasso, Kansas, where the dust and memories meet, \nEvery stranger leaves a story on that lonely street. \nSome are bought with silver, some are paid with pain, \nSome ride out in sunshine, some ride home in rain. \nThe cards keep turnin\u2019, the old songs never change, \nLife can feel like heaven\u2026 till somebody calls your name.<\/p>\n[Verse 3] \nThe sheriff tipped his hat and grinned just a little wide. \n\u201cRainy, I ran you out about this time last year,\u201d he cried. \nRainy laughed and answered, \u201cSheriff, that\u2019s all gone. \nThat\u2019s last year\u2019s water under the bridge and drifted on.\u201d \nDanny shook his head. \u201cSeems you\u2019re forgettin\u2019 then\u2026 \nYou also left this town after killin\u2019 two good men.\u201d<\/p>\n[Verse 4] \nRainy shrugged his shoulders. \u201cIt was fair from where I stood. \nThey drew before I answered, and I reckon that ain\u2019t good. \nI ain\u2019t come to raise no trouble, I ain\u2019t come to boast. \nJust lookin\u2019 for a lady and a little friendly toast.\u201d \nHenry puffed his cigar through a lazy cloud of smoke. \n\u201cMr. Pup\u2019s girls these days\u2019ll leave your wallet broke.\u201d<\/p>\n[Verse 5] \nRainy winked at Henry with a grin both sly and deep. \n\u201cI figured you were cheaper than the company they keep.\u201d \nThe porch erupted laughin\u2019; Henry tipped his hat. \n\u201cMy brother owns another place that\u2019s better after that.\u201d \nBefore another sentence ever found the evening air, \nTwo bouncers stormed the doorway with a hard and ugly stare.<\/p>\n[Bridge] \nOne grabbed Henry\u2019s shoulder, one reached for his vest. \nHenry dropped his cigar and gave \u2019em both his best. \nA table hit the doorway, boots flew through the rain, \nThe sheriff never moved much, just watched the whole campaign. \nRainy leaned on Mazer, smiling calm and slow. \nSometimes the best entertainment is another fellow\u2019s show.<\/p>\n[Final Chorus] \nIn Lasso, Kansas, where tomorrow ain\u2019t a vow, \nEvery man gets measured by the choices he makes now. \nSome are quick with pistols, some are quick with jokes, \nSome survive on whiskey, some survive on hope. \nRainy rode in peaceful, though the town had other plans, \nThat\u2019s just another chapter in the life of western men.<\/p>\n[Outro] \nWhen the muddy road was moonlit and the stars began to shine, \nOld Mazer pawed the ground while the church bell marked the time. \nFolks still sing in Lasso when the fiddle starts to play, \n\u2018Bout Rainy Crawfish Jones\u2026 and the fight at Pup\u2019s that day.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"66bPGYAVqe\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sayata.net\/e\/product\/chucks-mystery-western-who-killed-douglas-heimer\/\">Chuck\u2019s Mystery Western: Who Killed Douglas Heimer<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
