YOUNG’UNS BEWARE: Tombstone Town is a campy, but graphic song about a woman who was brought back from the grave to exact vengeance on the man who put her there - her unfaithful husband. While the song and dance are all in good fun, both contain depictions of the aforementioned vengeance and might not be appropriate for younger dancers.
Now, without further ado, welcome to Tombstone Town… *coyote howls in the distance beneath a full moon*
