~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

I know it’s not a classic, but “Gunpowder and Lead” by Miranda Lambert came to mind immediately.

“Shotgun Boogie” Tennessee Ernie Ford

There it stands in the corner
With a barrel so straight.
Look out the window
and over the gate.
The big, fat rabbits
are jumpin’ in the grass.
Just wait’ll they hear
My ol’ shotgun blast.

Shotgun boogie!
I done saw your track.
Look out Mr. Rabbit
When I cock my hammer back.

SHOT-GUN BOOGIE
Recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford
Words and music by Tennessee Ernie Ford

There it [C] stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The [F] big, fat rabbits are a-jumpin’ in the grass
[C] Wait’ll they hear my old shotgun blast (*)
Shot-[F] gun Boogie (* * * *) I done saw your [C] tracks ...
Look [G] out Mr. Rabbit when I [G7] cock my hammer [C] back.

Well, over on the ridge is a (*scaley bark)
Hick’er nuts so big you can see ‘em in the dark
The big fat Squirrels they scratch and they bite
I’ll be on that ridge before daylight (*)
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) all I need is one shot ...
Look out bushy tail, tonight you’ll be in the pot.

Well, I met pretty gal she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had, she said: “A FOX 410.”
I looked her up and down and said: “Boy, this is love.”
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove (*)
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) boy the feathers flew ...
Look out Mr. Dove when she draws a bead on you.

I sat down on a log, took her on my lap
She said: “Wait a minute, bub, you got to see my pap,
He’s got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle
He don’t like a man that’s a-gonna trifle.” (*)
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) draws a bead so fine ...
Look out big boy, he’s loaded all the time.

Well, I called on her pap like a gentleman oughter
He said: “No brush hunter’s gonna get my daughter.”
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
When the gun went off, I outran the shot (*)
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) I wanted wedding bells ...
I’ll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells.
