One-Legged Ghost

Jack was a one-armed bandit
Who run a one man business
He bought one horse
And rode into One-Horse Town
His one liners got the girls laughing
And one by one he stole their virtues
He run into a one man band
Led by a woman, funny that,
They had a one night stand
It was a one off, then he rode off
And she became a one-parent family.

Jack made one stop
To rob a One-Stop shop
He brought out his gun
And took a shot in the shop
But Fate was laughing at Jack
Watching him in a one-way mirror
He had no idea this was a trap
Because one sheriff was about
Who heard that one shot
He crouched, and did a one-two
And fired one deadly shot
Straight up Jack’s lonely heart

Now this one horse town
Was haunted by a one-legged ghost
The leader of the one man band
Who now run a one parent family
Complained that her daughter Jackie
Had seen this one legged spirit
And sore afraid, this one horse town
Set about to catch a ghost
They called in one medium
And one priest who laid the trap
The trap caught Jack
And this baffled the whole town
How a one-armed bandit
Became a one-legged ghost
