the pistol song - ruth wallis lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
things are so quiet in texas
since i got rid of alexis
he used to keep me up ’till the dawn came in sight
he kept on making bang bang all through the night
he was riding the range too darn often
so i laid him to rest in his coffin

[chorus]
i yanked out the bullets
i sawed off his barrel
now he can’t shoot his pistol anymore

[verse 2]
our neighbors never bothered to go to the show
they’d stand around and wait for our own rodeo
it was only one gun that he toted
but oh my! how fast he could reload it

[chorus]
so i yanked out the bullets
i sawed off his barrel
now he can’t shoot his pistol anymore

[verse 3]
i always used to pray that someday i’d see him change
and i did! one night i caught him riding widow brown’s range
he just could not get out of that habit
he was quick like a young prairie rabbit
[chorus]
so i yanked out the bullets
i sawed off his barrel
now he can’t shoot his pistol anymore

[verse 4]
he was rootin’, he was tootin’, he was full of foolish pranks
he was know as ‘sure*shot daddy’ and none of them were blanks
oh my he was so trigger happy
all the neighbors kids called him pappy

[chorus]
so i yanked out the bullets
i sawed off his barrel
now i’m sure in the sweet by and by
he’s a ghost rider in the sky

[verse 6]
how well i remember those last words he said
he said, “what goods a cowboy if his pistol is dead?”
but i figured my life would be sweeter
if i silenced his own repeater

[outro]
so i yanked out the bullets
i sawed off his barrel
now i wonder, was it all for the best
i’m haunted by an empty saddle that n0body cares to straddle
i’ve had no peace since i laid him to rest
