"Don't Take Your Guns To Town" |
| [00:05.120] |
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm |
| [00:09.459] |
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm |
| [00:14.259] |
He changed his clothes and shined his boots |
| [00:17.459] |
And combed his dark hair down |
| [00:19.519] |
And his mother cried as he walked out |
| [00:21.929] |
|
| [00:23.409] |
Don't take your guns to town son |
| [00:25.539] |
Leave your guns at home Bill |
| [00:28.990] |
Don't take your guns to town |
| [00:33.980] |
|
| [00:34.830] |
He laughed and kissed his mom |
| [00:39.220] |
And said your Billy Joe's a man |
| [00:41.470] |
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can |
| [00:45.310] |
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause |
| [00:50.370] |
I'd gun nobody down |
| [00:52.420] |
But she cried again as he rode away |
| [00:56.340] |
|
| [00:57.230] |
Don't take your guns to town son |
| [01:01.100] |
Leave your guns at home Bill |
| [01:03.500] |
Don't take your guns to town |
| [01:08.170] |
|
| [01:10.810] |
He sang a song as on he rode |
| [01:14.889] |
His guns hung at his hips |
| [01:16.600] |
He rode into a cattle town |
| [01:19.970] |
A smile upon his lips |
| [01:22.760] |
He stopped and walked into a bar |
| [01:25.300] |
And laid his money down |
| [01:27.900] |
But his mother's words echoed again |
| [01:31.289] |
|
| [01:32.579] |
Don't take your guns to town son |
| [01:36.170] |
Leave your guns at home Bill |
| [01:38.530] |
Don't take your guns to town |
| [01:43.759] |
|
| [01:45.960] |
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand |
| [01:49.550] |
And tried to tell himself he had become a man |
| [01:56.870] |
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down |
| [02:02.800] |
And he heard again his mothers words |
| [02:06.430] |
|
| [02:07.268] |
Don't take your guns to town son |
| [02:10.949] |
Leave your guns at home Bill |
| [02:13.829] |
Don't take your guns to town |
| [02:18.290] |
|
| [02:19.989] |
Filled with rage then |
| [02:23.719] |
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw |
| [02:26.539] |
But the stranger drew his gun and fired |
| [02:30.728] |
Before he even saw |
| [02:31.949] |
As Billy Joe fell to the floor |
| [02:36.790] |
The crowd all gathered 'round |
| [02:38.990] |
And wondered at his final words |
| [02:41.379] |
|
| [02:42.119] |
Don't take your guns to town son |
| [02:45.509] |
Leave your guns at home Bill |
| [02:48.849] |
Don't take your guns to town |
| [02:52.949] |
