The Rescue

A desperado makes a desperate race against time to save his young bride from the hangmans noose! Will he save her life? Read on and find out!

The Hangman hurled the deadly rope
O'er the bough of an old oak tree
Glanced at the sky at the dawn of the day
Heavy of heart was he!

The cries of the mob was a deafening din!
Though some shed a tear that were young
Looked at the rope and the length of the drop
Then looked at the girl to be hung

The young girl glanced at the bluest of sky
Sixteen if she was a day
Then looked at the rope that was placed on her neck
For a soul she would never betray

Then out of a clearing a horse galloped hard
And shots rang loud from a height!
Daring and bold as he grabbed a hold
Of his bride on his furious flight

She glanced up above at the bluest of sky
Then once at the old oak tree
Then clung to her love as they galloped away
To a life in the land of the free!
