There is a lengthy gunfighter ballad named something like Mr. Shorty..think it was Marty Robbins who sang it. anybody know the lyrics, or where I can lay them down?..didn't find it on cowpie or DT...It was about a short man who was called out by a Bully gunslinger.. & the short man gave him the ultimate lesson. Told my friend who needs it that if I can find it anywhere, probably one of you knows it..

I spoke too soon, Gene, the Shorties I found on DT were not the Gunfighter Ballad I was looking for...unless I was doing something wrong.
