Lawrence Hall, HSG
Did Saloons Really Have Those Swinging Doors?
I’d like to mosey down to the Long Branch Saloon
In glorious CBS monochrome
Along Dodge City’s sound-stage cow town street
And saunter through those familiar swinging doors
I’d like to order a beer from good ol’ Sam
And listen to Doc and Festus fussing at each other
While Matt and Kitty smile contentedly
And for a while we are all at peace
I’d like to mosey down to the Long Branch Saloon
That’s what I’d like, and leave the world tethered outside
