What can means: "Turn me black and blue"? Is it an idiom?

I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any ideas?

When you are beaten, your skin is bruised. Severe bruises are the colors of black and blue from coagulated blood. So "He beat me black and blue" means a very severe beating.

I want to add the last two sentences:

"Bring all your boys in, here come the poison."
"come the poison" means here "come for the poison" or "take/bring the poison" or maybe something else?

"To any outlaw tryin to draw, thinkin you're bad
Any draw on West best with a pen and a pad"
What means here "draw"? Because I guess he don't talk about painting?

Regard,
