Sarah was real excited
to see her boyfriend Jess.
But he was more interested
in all of his success.

You see old Jess was sheriff
and he wore that badge so proud.
He was always boastful
when ever he got by a crowd.

One day Jess told the girls
that she was just a friend.
Then, when they all asked her
he just tried to make amend.

Right then Sarah asked him
just when that they'd be wed.
Old Jess just 'bout choked
and then his face turned red.

now there's nothin' he can say.

Sarah decided to go home
and leave old Jess right here.
Jess gave her face a slap
and took another sip of beer.

Then Ben the local preacher
had seen what Jess just did.
He shot old Jess in a fair fight
and helped them close the lid.

she was goin' the other way.
