One day he goes ridin' into town, see, and gets all muddled up like with folk down in the tavern, playin' card games and such. He had a winnin' streak and the other players got all mean and leaft the table, save the dealer. This dealer folk, real mysterious man, deals him up a hand and poor Ol' Earl draws up a card; a Gun.
