Here is a motion comic book with the ballad of Jonah Hex:
The Lyrics:
With a tomahawk scar and a six shooter hip
He enters the dusty saloon
Heads to a table where the men play poker
And asks if there's any room
They let him in, he takes a seat
And then he pretends to play
But the game is just a diversion
While hes waiting for his prey
The doors swing open and a man steps in
Brown hat and a big belt buckle
Walks to the table and asks to play
With a friendly, hearty chuckle
A flick of the wrist, a flash and a bang,
The buckle hits the floor
The scarred man rises from his seat
Hes not playing anymore
He rides from town to town
Searching for a face thats on a poster
He speaks to the right people
And he knows hes getting closer
He meets up with his target
In the pink and red sunset
The man is filled with chills
For he knows of Jonah Hex
He sees the scar and goes for his gun
A split second too late
Jonah takes him alive just to get a higher rate
The man was hanged in the old town square
And Jonah left with his fair share
Gone collecting tarnished souls
Putting men in six foot holes
At the age of 15, Jonah rescued an Apache chief
But the chiefs son didn't like him
And he raged with jealousy
He and Jonah headed out
To commence in pony theft
The son then betrayed Jonah
And he left him there for dead
Years later Jonah found the tribe
To get his old score settled
The chief decided the two young men
Should have a tomahawk battle
The son he cheated he knew Jonahs handle would Break during the fight
But Jonah broke the rules
When he killed him with a knife
The chief decided the mark of the demon
Had been earned
So they tied up Jonah and gave half his face
A gruesome tomahawk burn
This is the way the man was forged
So many years ago
If you were wondering about the scar
Well ah, now you know
My name is Jonah Hex
And Ive come for this mans bounty
You may have heard my name before
Its known in many counties
You said to bring him live or dead
Now pay the price thats on his head
And I will be straight on my way
Pray I don't come for you some day
He rode into the sun
