~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

Writer : H. LOGAN, L. PRICE

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

Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money -- Warren Zevon

"I went home with a waitress
the way I always do.
How was I to know
she was with the Russians too?!

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk.
Send lawyers, guns, and money.
Dad, get me out'a this!"

The Guns of Brixton -- The Clash

"When they kick out your front door
how ya' gonna' come?
With your hands on your head
or the trigger of your gun?

When the Law break in
how ya' gonna' go?
Shot down on the pavement
or waiting in death row?

You can crush us, you can bruise us,
but you'll have to answer to...
ohhhhhhhhhh, oh
the guns of Brixton!"

I used to have them on vinyl, but sold them them for a very good price back in the late 90s. What seemed like a good price ... who knows what I could get for an original “Guitar Town” album these days ...

All those people were just wild ... it’s amazing Steve survived ... a hugh talent, but BATS.

Gimme Three Steps:

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.

I just listened to the disjointed rhythm mostly.

There was no one that sounded like them, But it was popular to take potshots at Reagan and conservatives back then.

Just as it is now.

Sixty Eight Guns - The Alarm

And now they’re trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
On every corner, I can see them there
They don’t know my name, they don’t know my kind
They’re after you with their promises
They’re after you to sign your life away

Sixty Eight Guns will never die
Sixty Eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty Eight Guns will never die
Sixty Eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty Eight Guns, Sixty Eight Guns

For living in the backstreets that’s our home from home
The painted walls are all we’ve ever known
The Guns Forever, that’s our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they try to drag us down
I cry with anger, I have done no crime

Sixty Eight Guns will never die
Sixty Eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty Eight Guns will never die
Sixty Eight Guns our battle cry
Sixty Eight Guns, Sixty Eight Guns

David Ruffin - My Whole World Ended

“I can’t see you no more.
That was all that you said.
But you just might as well have
Placed a gun to my head.”
