Here I'm lurking in this ruined church at the border to Mexico
The narrator is hiding in a ruined church near the Mexican border.
Frankie needs to ride through this ghost town if he wanna get abroad

He stole all the gold from the train robbery and left me alone behind

But Frankie ain't gonna bamboozle old McCoy again in his worthless life

My ass itches and my old legs hurt but I’m sure it will be fine
The narrator is physically uncomfortable but remains resolute.
In order to defeat that dumbass Trombone, I've already loaded my gun
The narrator is armed and prepared to confront an adversary named Trombone.

First I shoot and hit Frankie's white horse, he suddendly falls to the ground

Preaching my last words: “Go to hell!” and shoot him in his chest
