|
||||
The Shooting of Tanmadru, by Robert W. Service.
|
||||
A bunch of boys were booping it up in a Malamute saloon.
|
||||
The kid that handles the music box was hitting a ragtime tune.
|
||||
Back at the bar in a solo games, had dangerous Tanmadru,
|
||||
and watching his luck was his lighter love, the lady that's known as Lue.
|
||||
When out of the night, which was 50 below, and into the dine and glare,
|
||||
there stumbled a minor fresh from the creek's dog dirty and loaded for bear.
|
||||
He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a
|
||||
louse, yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar,
|
||||
and he called for drinks for the house. There was none good place to stranger's
|
||||
face, though he searched ourselves for a clue, but we drank his health,
|
||||
and the last to drink was dangerous Tanmadru.
|
||||
There's men that somehow grip your eyes and hold them hard like a spell,
|
||||
and such was he, and he looked to me like a man who lived in hell.
|
||||
With a face most hair and a dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
|
||||
as he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
|
||||
Then I got to figuring who he was and wondering what he'd do,
|
||||
and I turned my head, and there watching him was a lady that's known as Lue.
|
||||
His eyes went rubbering around the room, and he seemed in kind of a days
|
||||
to let last that old piano fell in the way of his wandering gaze.
|
||||
The ragtime kid was having a drink, and there was no one else on the stool,
|
||||
so the stranger stumbles across the room and flops down there like a fool.
|
||||
In a buckskin's shirt that was glazed with dirt, he sat, and I saw him sway,
|
||||
then he clutched the keys with his talon hands, my god, but that man could play.
|
||||
Were you ever out in the great alone when the moon was awful clear,
|
||||
and the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silent shoe most could hear,
|
||||
with only the hall of the timber wolf, as you camp there in the cold,
|
||||
a half dead thing in a stark dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold.
|
||||
While high overhead, green yellow and red, the northern light swept in bars,
|
||||
then you've a hunch with the music men, hunger and might in the stars,
|
||||
and hunger not are the belly kind that's banished with bacon and beans,
|
||||
but the dying hunger of lonely men for a home, and for all that it means.
|
||||
For a fireside far from the cares that are, for walls and a roof above,
|
||||
but oh, so cramful of cozy joy and crowned with a woman's love,
|
||||
a woman's dearer than all the world, and true as heaven is true.
|
||||
God, how ghastly she looks through her rouge, the lady that's known as Lou.
|
||||
Then on a sudden the music changed, so soft you could scarce here,
|
||||
but you felt that your life had been looted clean of all the once held dear.
|
||||
That someone had stolen the woman you loved, and her love was a devil's lie,
|
||||
that your guts were gone, and the best for you was to crawl away and die.
|
||||
It was a crowning cry of a harsh despair, and it thrilled you through and through.
|
||||
I guess I'll make it spread misery, said dangerous Dan McGrew.
|
||||
The music almost dies away, then it bursts like a pent-up flood,
|
||||
and it seemed to say, repay, repay, and my eyes were blind with blood.
|
||||
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
|
||||
and the lust awoke to kill to kill, then the music stopped with a crash,
|
||||
and the stranger turned in his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way.
|
||||
In a buckskin's shirt, it was glazed with dirt, he sat, and I saw him sway.
|
||||
Then his lips went in kind of a grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm.
|
||||
And boy said, he, you don't know me, and none of you carried damn,
|
||||
but I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
|
||||
one of you is the hound of hell, and that one is Dan McGrew.
|
||||
And I ducked my head, and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark,
|
||||
and a woman screamed, and the lights went up, two men lay stiff and stark.
|
||||
Bitched on his head, and pump full of lead, was dangerous Dan McGrew,
|
||||
or the man from the creeks laid clutching to the breast of the lady that's known as Lou.
|
||||
These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know.
|
||||
They say that the stranger with craze was hooch, and I'm not denying it so.
|
||||
Not as wise as a lawyer guy is, but strictly between us two,
|
||||
the woman that kissed him, and pinched his poke, was a lady that's known as Lou.
