Narration 1 lyrics

One day on 1881 the Tombstone Epitaph

A booming newspaper in a booming silver mining town

Screamed out the headlines about a

Gunfight at the OK 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 McLowery

Frank McLowery 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
