*********** The Ballad of Decky Ortega ************
Inspired by the Western "Shootout"
Starring Gregory Peck & Dawn Lyn
Lyrics:
Once I did a bank job for that I've done my time
I was double-crossed by Foley my partner in the crime
So now I’m free I'll kill him but first I have to pay
For the price that Trooper wants to show the way
Waiting at the station to meet the midday train
I'm expecting all my money in a package with my name
From a whore in Kansas City who's loyalty was key
But she passed away and left this child for me
Oh Decky Ortega do I have to take her?
Oh Decky Ortega should I walk away?
All these things on my mind
Still a place I must find she can stay
But nobody wants her...
Rode across the prairie the orphan by my side
There were three young guns that trailed us but they could never hide
They'd had their fun and Foley will join them in the grave
Juliana and the child will both be saved
Oh Decky Ortega was it me that made her?
Oh Decky Ortega was it really me?
Oh Decky Ortega Bobby J has took her
Oh Decky Ortega did he set her free?
When the shoot-out is done
I can lay down my gun and go see
My Decky Ortega...
