narration #1 - johnny cash lyrics

one day in 1881, the tombstone epitaph
a booming newspaper in a booming silver*mining town
screamed out the headlines about a gunfight
at the o.k. corral, right downtown
the headlines read: “murder in the streets of tombstone”
well, that wasn’t such hot news
but more stark, and spine*chilling than that was a sight
on the boardwalk in front of the epitaph building
neatly laid out in beautiful caskets were the bodies of
tom mclaury, frank mclaury, and young billy clanton, twenty*eight years old
a witness at the trial later said that
he saw doc holliday blast away with a nickel*plated pistol
and billy clanton screamed, “don’t shoot me, i don’t wanna fight”
today, there’s no more silver mining in tombstone
but up there on boot hill
you can see where the graves of the men are
the ones who fought over or because of
that big silver strike that created tombstone
