Shotgun Rider |
There was a man who owned a part of town |
Approached me in his saloon and asked me to sit down |
Was I unemployed or would I like a job |
He said he owned the stageline and there were men who liked to rob |
He offered me his daughter’s hand, an advance of salary |
A fancy gun, a pair of boots, and a share in the company |
Now I ride shotgun on his stageline |
I ride shotgun on his life |
I ride shotgun on his money |
I ride shotgun on his wife |
Shotgun rider, shotgun rider, shotgun |
There were outlaws who waited on the trail |
For the stagecoach daily run with payrolls and the mail |
They spied our dust, and saddled up to ride |
They saw the worried driver with me sittin’at his side |
So they circled 'round the stagecoach it was their daily fun |
Until they saw the driver smile and spied my trusty gun |
We caught the outlaws and took them back to jail |
Sent for the county marshal and would not post a bail |
Sent 'em up the river. |
That sure cleaned up the town |
I was elected sheriff. |
The mayor asked me down |
I now own half the stageline and half the rest of town |
I go to chuch on Sunday. |
I think I’ve settled down |
