~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

I'd like to thank the academy for this high honor. OTOH, when I told Irving that he'd only won a silver, he called you an anti-semite! ;-)

Thanks Fresh Wind (((((Hugs))))))

[Tax-chick]

“Devil’s Right Hand” by Steve Earle.

Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man,
Nothin’ touched the trigger but the devil’s right hand.

[fatima]

Thanks:)

I was afraid of that. Obummers leaning heavily on Ft Hood.

Go get that smoked poke chop!

Dude you have been deployed for a long time.
What is this tour 4?

WITH A GUN - STEELY DAN (Pretzel Logic)

I could be wrong but I have seen your face before
You were the man that I saw running from his door
You owed him money but you gave him something more
With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

You were the founders of the clinic on the hill
Until he caught you with your fingers in the till
He slapped your hand so you settled up your bill

With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

When you’re born to play the fool
And you’ve seen all the western movies
Woe to the one who does you wrong
You hide in the bushes
Murder the man
With Luger in hand

I understood that you will soon be leavin’ town
Don’t try to call me when they finally run you down
Just give fair warning any time you come around

With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

[mylife]

That’s a great song!

Steve is a barkin’ moonbat, but he is one of the great songwriters and performers of our generations. They’ll be listening to “Copperhead Road” when we colonize the Andromeda Galaxy.

[GizmosAndGadgets]

Lots of songs I would never have thought of! I'll add to the list ZZ Top's "Gun Love." Perhaps not my favorite, but I snipped a bit of it to use as my ringtone for my boss :-) However, like many ZZ Top songs, I think they might be saying one thing when they mean something else...

[PhatHead]

Smoking Gun - Robert Cray
Lawyers, Guns and Money - Warren Zevon
Vaseline Machine Gun - Leo Kottke
Running Gun Blues - David Bowie

[watchwoman]

Gimme Three Steps and El Paso would be my picks too.

Funny how guns and “watering holes” often seem to go together in songs.

[mylife]

Heyup. I have most of the CDs.

Imagine if Emmy Lou hadnt kept him reigned in.

Shotgun Willie

by Willie Nelson

[ExpatGator]

Quite. I’ve heard them called other names as well...lol! Way lefty, but who cared back then? Now I listen to songs like theirs and wonder if they still believe that tripe?
