In this day and age, there are some items on the internet that defy 
attribution -- this would appear to be one of them.  I suspect it could 
be said to be in the public domain, whether or not it is, technically, 
is of little importance, as factually, it is.  Google has about 30,000 
hits for this poem -- possibly you could find time to research this?   ;-)

Perhaps one of the more factual entries could be found at the Clark 
County, Wisconsin, ALHN & AHGP Internet Library, Hosted by the WI Valley 
Libraries, as it is a library --

I immediately recognized this as an accurate source, as it included the 
last stanza:

Here lies Lester Moore

Shot to death with a 44

                   Alas! No Les, No Moore
