~Favorite GUN Song~

Lloy Price - Stagger Lee
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark

He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four

Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

Gene Pitney - (The Man Who Shot) Liiberty Valance >

When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

>From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight
>From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

High Noon,

Lyrics to High Noon :
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave

For I must face a man who hates me
Or die a coward, a craven coward
Or die a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty
Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand movin' round
Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison

Said it would be my life or hisn'
I'm not afraid to die but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling
You make that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Not while I need you by my side

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along

Gun - Gigolo Aunts

“GUN”
(Brouwer/Gibbs/Hurley/Hurley)

Hey little you - why do you walk around (?)
Out on the streets - do the sights and sounds like (?)
What can I lose - do you tremble when you’re caught again
Well I got the thing to make you feel like a man again

And It’s your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be alive

Bought one for mom - now she no longer has trouble walking with a cane
And sold - one to junior - he didn’t have no trouble in school again
And strapped to your leg - or gun control beside your bed
If they fuck with you - who’ll be the one who’s seeing red

And It’s your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be...

It feels great to be alive - with a polished piece of pride
It feels great to be alive - with a polished piece of pride

Hey little you - well I’m not saying to use that thing
But still let me show you - it’s gonna hold ten rounds inside the bin
And yet in the city (-—)
But what can I tell ya - after all boys will be boys
And It’s your constitutional right
To sleep soundly thru the night
With a 38 - or carbine 45
It feels great today to be
It feels great today to be
It feels great today to be alive!

I Fought the Law (Sonny Curtis)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0sI6eFarFE

Breakin’ rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money ‘cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She’s the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin’ people with a six-gun (original version was “zip-gun”)
I fought the law and the law won
I miss my baby and I miss my fun
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She’s the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Jr Walker & the All Stars - Shotgun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH6dpX4J36g

[Publius]

Theme from "Maverick"

Who is the tall dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name.
Riding the trail to who-knows-where,
Luck is his companion,
Gambling is his game.

Smooth as a handle on a gun,
Maverick is the name.
Riding the trail to Oregon,
Blowing up a canyon?
Easy, you're too tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell.
Fare thee well, Lanabelle.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.
Natchez to New Orleans,
Living on jacks and queens,
Maverick is a legend of the west.
