3. One Gun by 54-40

Hey there pretty girl can I kiss you?
With all you've said to me I think I'll miss you
And she said, "No one can kiss me while people scream
They're screaming for me"

One gun added on to the one gun
One gun added on on on
One gun added on to the one gun
One gun added on on on

Don't Take Your Guns To Town Lyrics
by Johnny Cash

< Send to a friend > < Download MP3 > < Request Lyrics > < Post a Comment >

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out

Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He laughed and kissed his mom
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away

Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He sang a song as on he rode
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town
A smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar
And laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again

Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words

Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

Filled with rage then
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round
And wondered at his final words

Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

8. aha - it was the "s" missing on the word "gun" - I see ya fixed it

.
.
.

Just for that -

I'll share what I found when I googled "Don't Take Your Gun to Town":

Jack Ruby Don't Take Your Gun to Town
"Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" Based on the performance by Kenny Rogers
"Jack Ruby Don't Take Your Gun to Town" Parody by Royce Miller

You've loaded up your gun
And hid it in your clothes somewhere
Ruby are you contemplating
Murder, do you dare?
To the basement of the Dallas police station you are bound
Jack Ruby--
Don't take your gun to town

Yes it's a shame
That JFK was in an open car
But now you see your chance to go
And be some kind of star
And yes, it's true that
You will now be goin' after Lee
Jack Ruby, you vigilante

It's hard to like a man
Who you think killed your JFK
But Jack, there were some others
On the grassy knoll that day
And it won't be long I've heard you say
Til Lee won't be around
Jack Ruby, don't take your gun to town

You're leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of your door
And soon Lee Harvey Oswald will be
Dying on the floor
And then in some dark jail cell
Ole Jack Ruby will be found
Jack Ruby, don't take your gun to town

Jack Ruby, he gunned Lee Oswald down

9. I am assumin Annie, Get Your Gun refers to the
