The Long Black Rifle (From the Album The Kingston Trio at Large) |
Come closer, my love, and you’ll hear my tale. |
It’ll make you cold. |
It’ll turn you pale |
It’s a tale of a man’s never ending love and the long, black rifle |
He wed a woman sworn to another and, in a rage, the other man |
Shot him down with a long, black rifle, shot him down and away he ran |
A prairie man loved a city maid. |
Was the love he took worth the price he paid |
When a man ends up at the smoky end of a long, black rifle? |
His dyin' words I repeat to you. |
«You can never kill love when love is true |
It lives when only the rust is left of the long, black rifle |
Shot him down and away he ran |
