~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’ve got my pistols in my pockets boys,
I’m Alabama bound.
I’ve got my pistols in my pockets boys, I’m
I’m Alabama bound.
Well, I’m not looking for no trouble
But nobody dogs me ‘round.

Well, I’m going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come.
Well, I’m going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities here I come
‘Cause she was raised up on that cornbread
And I know she’s gonna give me some.

When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don’t you try and dog him ‘round.
When the kid hits Alabama, people
Don’t you try and dog him ‘round.
‘Cause if you people cause me trouble,
Then I’ve got to put you in the ground.

Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don’t take any stuff from you
Well, I was born in Mississippi
And I don’t take any stuff from you
And if I hit you on your head
Boy, its got to make you black and blue.

Well, I ride to Alabama
With my pistols out by my side
Well, I ride to Alabama
With my pistols out by my side
‘Cause down in Alabama
You can run, but you sure can’t hide

Title: Shinedown - 45 lyrics

Artist: Shinedown Lyrics

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you’re told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man’s heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I’m staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There’s a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man’s heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[CHORUS]

Everyone’s pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe

[CHORUS]

YOU CAN’T GET A MAN WITH A GUN, from the musical “Annie Get Your Gun” by Irving Berlin (1946)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9_HFcAUAo
featuring the incomparable Ethel Merman

Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say,
That’s why I’m such a wonderful shot.
I’d be out in the cactus and I’d practice all day,
And now tell me what have I got?
I’m quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pin point, I’m number one.
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar-

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.

When I’m with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal,
Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
But I lose all my luster
When with a Bronco Buster.

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can’t get a man with a gun.

If I went to battle
With someone’s herd of cattle
You’d have steak when the job was done.
But if shot the herder,
They’d holler ‘bloody murder’
Cause you can’t shoot a male
In the tail like a quail

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.

I’m cool, brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I’m out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.

The gals with ‘umbrellars’
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can’t get a man with a gun.

A Tom, Dick, or Harry
Will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can’t build you houses
With buckshot in his trousers
Cause a man may be hot
But he’s not
When he’s shot

Oh, you can’t get a man with a gun

A man’s love is mighty
He’ll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun.
But they don’t buy pajamas
For Pistol packin’ mamas,
And you can’t get a hug
From a mug with a slug,

Oh you can’t get a man with a gun.
