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
