James Merry met his maker 127 years ago today. I had the whole story authenticated, who owned the bull, who owned the land, why he was up there. Then the old stories wipe out the memory banks.

James Merry met his maker 127 years ago today. I had the whole story authenticated, who owned the bull, who owned the land, why he was up there. Then the old stories wipe out the memory banks.
Please elaborate, I want to hear the whole story.

Just the facts:
The death of James Merry by a three year old bull owned by Patrick Nugent in a field in Dogtown owned by Curtis.
James Merry was a fisher man back in days of yore
But he left the blue in ninety-two for the trade of matador
So he got a bull and he raised it up full
And he learned the corrida lore
Then he died like a toad on the Dogtown Road
Bleeding from a stomach gore
