Long time ago in the Virginy hills, among them rocks and all them rills, there lived Zeek and Aimee and a guy named Bill. But the guy everybody new most – was Ray! Now Ray was a big guy about 7′1”, wore a straw hat and tooted a gun, as for shoes he never wore none, couldn’t find none big enough to fit – Ray.

Now those hill folks, they always did brood, you know they all hate each other, cause everyone’s so rude. So they’d get out their rifles and start to feud – everyone including Ray.

They’d fight on the range and shoot up the land, jump over the line and steel the other mans lamb. Now Ray he led the McCoy’s, and Dorval, he bossed the Hatfield clan but the man with the hammer – was Ray.

Well, early one morning bout the crack of dawn, Ray’s out sawin with all his brawn, and Zeek and the boys they was workin along, but the guy workin most – was Ray.

Then Ray yells out; “there’s a critter in the trees”! “Somebody’s up there hangin by his knees. It’s one of them Hatfields tryin not to sneeze”! And the guy who knew they were feuders – was Ray.

“Go get your rifles and you better be quick.

Cause if we wait much longer we’re up a crek”. Ray yelled out as he grabbed his fighten stick. It was shootin time – for Ray.

Well their riflers were out and the smoke started to rise. They was yellin and shoutin with tears in their eyes, cause they was sick and tired of each others lies – especially Ray.

Then Ray yells out above the roar;

“This fights to the finish there ain’t gonna be no more”! Then he pulled up a tree he was going to use for a door, and threw it at Dorval – strong Ray.

Well with one big hand, Dorval caught that tree. Bent it on his head and broke it on his knee, Then through back at Ray, easy as could be. And every body stopped fighting – including Ray.

See, Dorval had an club that was made out of led, and Ray had a ax he painted red. Now toe to toe they took a swing at each others head, Dorval Hatfield and Ray Seed McCoy.

Yeah,their weapons crashed loud in the middle of the air, so loud it broke the sound barrier, but they didn’t care. Til the head of that ax hit Dorval – right there! And he fell down in front of – Ray.

Then big ol’ Ray, you know he knelt right down, in front of ol’ Dorval, bleedin on the ground. And on his hands and knees guess what he found? A dog tag that said;

“Dorval Hatfield – MCCOY!!!???”

Now there’s a moral to this story and it ain’t know lie. The next time you get an enemy and you want to hurt him, and beat him up, and make him cry!

Please don’t shot him or kill him or make him die. Because you see later, they found out that Dorval, he was actually the half brother of – RAY!
