Hairtrigger Colt's .44 |
I’m a man who’s goin' to hell with heaven’s blessin' |
The judge said I’m not fit to live with men |
They’re buildin' me a gallows in the courtyard |
To make sure I don’t pass this way again |
My first taste of killin' was at Vicksburg |
I must have shot me a hundred men |
I learned to make my livin' with a six-gun |
I’m an outlaw now, but I was a hero then |
Lord, if I had only known the mis’ry |
That glory’s somethin' not worth killin' for |
I wish now I had never touched the handle |
Of a hair-trigger Colt .44 |
I was a hunted desperado |
A wanted man with a price on my head |
I thought that I could steal a taste of freedom |
I got me a hangman’s noose instead |
Oh, Lord, if I had only known the mis’ry |
That glory’s somethin' not worth killin' for |
I wish now I had never touched the handle |
Of a hair-trigger Colt .44 |
Undertaker write on my tombstone |
«A killer finally killed» and nothin' more |
But I wouldn’t be here if it hadn’t been for Providence |
And that hair-trigger Colt .44 |
Lord if I had only known the mis’ry |
That glory’s somethin' not worth killin' for |
I wish now I had never touched the handle |
Of a hair-trigger Colt .44 |
Lord if I had only known the mis’ry |
That glory’s somethin' not worth killin' for |
I wish now I had never touched the handle |
Of a hair-trigger Colt .44 |
