The Ballad of Nickle N. Dime

Once upon a spell, in the days of yore,
lived a lawman in tales of lore.

The unknown lawman in the old west time,
this is the ballad of Nickle N. Dime.

He was the greatest sheriff the west ever saw,
He fought the worst, the scum, he upheld the law.

He wrassled with the russlers,
he tussled with the tasslers,
he routed the rebels,
and roused the rabble.
this is the ballad of Nickle N. Dime.

But then one day, Terrible Ted, the Two-Toothed Terlet Tumbler
rode into town on his bull.
Ol' Nickle went out to face Terrible Ted, as he was wont to do,
But that dang old bull slipped in his own poo.

When all was said and done, it was up, old Nickle, his time,
because that dumb old bull couldn't turn on a Dime.
