Though not a big one.

I picked up a CD today that included the following
song. Found the lyrics online because it occurred to
me that this might make a great example of how a
Manitou can trick a Harrowed's senses. The song is no
doubt copyrighted, and I'm not trying to cheat anyone
- just share with the Marshalls.

Mescal is free at Amanda's saloon for the boys from
the old broken O
Saturday nights in the town of Sonora are the best in
all Mexico
They've got guitars and trumpets and sweet senoritas
who won't want to let you go
You'd never believe such a gay happy time on the
street called Sonora's death row

Inside Amanda's we was a dancin' with all of Amanda's
gals
I won some silver at seven card stud so I was outdoin'
my pals
But the whiskey and mescal, peso cigars drove me
outside for some air
Somebody whispered Your life or your money, I reached
but my gun wasn't there

I woke up face down in Amanda's back alley aware of
the fool I had been
Rushed to my pony, grabbed my Winchester and entered
Amanda's again
Where I saw my partners twirling my pistols and
throwing my money around
Blinded by anger, I jacked the lever and one of them
fell to the ground

Amanda's got silent like night in the desert, my
friends stared in pure disbelief
Amanda was kneeling beside the dead cowboy plainly
expressing her grief
And as I bowed my head, a tremble shot through me, my
six-gun was still at my side
I felt my pockets, there was my money, I fell to my
knees and I cried

A nightmare of mescal is all that it was for no one
had robbed me at all
I wish I was dreaming the sound of the gallows they're
testing just outside the wall

The mescal's still free at Amanda's saloon for the
boys from the old Broken O
I'd give a ransom to drink there today and be free of
Sonora's death row
I'd give a ransom to drink there today and be free of
Sonora's death row

Anyway - just a thought. Peace,
Ivan
