Flat Iron Joe

His name was Flat Iron Joe

And he came from the Wild West

He was a lawman of good repute

And with his guns was best


He went to Dodge Town City

Gunning for Scar Faced Smith

They shot it out at high noon

And Flat Iron didn't miss


He formed a posse by the OK Corral

Bent on seeing justice done

He followed the bad men all over the state

Until they gave up to his gun


He rubbed shoulders with the western greats

With Wild Bill, Doc Holiday and more

He even had a romantic walk with Calamity Jane

A girl of the like he had never encountered before


He gave up his badge and settled down with a wife

Raised a family of four daughters and a son

He brought them up knowing right from wrong

He was strict, but he also knew how to have fun


Flat Iron had a good life

Eventually becoming Mayor

And all the folks for miles around

Said he was good, and kind and fair
