In a time not so long ago,
this story isn’t pretty
in a place called Sin City
because it felt like the wild west.
This place was ruled by night
so they called in a man
to help clean up the land
and help good citizens rest.
He came to do a job
Cantrell was his name
quick draw was his game.
He agreed to clean up the town.
A man named Rosa came
to work undercover
trying to discover
the corruptness he found.
The two worked side by side
they were on the same team
or so it would seem
until one night that became legend.
Four men sat in a car
one shot rang out
the truth in doubt
a local folktale destined.
Michael Rosa is dead, dead,
shot by Quick Draw Cantrell.
No one can really tell
what really happened in that car.
One man cannot speak his tale
the other one lived in hell.
The legend of Rosa and Cantrell
echoes through the ages near and far.
