Description
I rode into this one horse townAnd off my horse my boots go down
I step into this one saloon
But they said they'd be closing soon
It's not that it is getting late
There's a gunfight going that won't wait
I think I'll stay and stick around
Just to see the one that will go down
The gunfight will go on at noon
I check my watch, it's coming soon
I see two men with holsters on
We'll see which gun is fastest drawn
They stare each other in the face
The town is there, they pack the place
A preacher says some lines he read
Two mother's pray alone instead
They then look each other in the eye
Two shots ring out, and one will die
The one shot low, last breath he vented
I told him high, this suit is rented

You should explain the significance of the red sash...
I assume that's a member of the "Cowboys"that Wyatt Earp and co. so doggedly hunted down and killed...?

I didn't know there was one. Please explain?

Well,
I'm not sure if you've created the whole figure or used a stock image,but when I saw the red sash I thought whoever painted that original figure was identifying him as one of "the cowboys",a gang of drovers(sometimes rustlers) that had a vendetta with the Earp family(ostensibly killed Wyatt Earp's younger brother).The 1993 movie "Thombstone"with Kurt Russell features this conflict and identifies the gang with the red sash...
