Shotgun Song |
| Well I wish I had a shotgun |
| I’d tie it to my side |
| Never me without the power |
| To make a man do right |
| Steady on my shoulders |
| Standing in the wind |
| Well I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
| And if I had a pony |
| How fast I would ride |
| Yippie-tiy-iy-ay |
| With the shotgun at my side |
| An outlaw to my foes |
| A hero to my friends |
| I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
| Well the days would be so easy |
| The nights would be so slow |
| I’d turn my pony south, boys |
| And ride to Mexico |
| My pockets full of silver |
| To gamble or to lay |
| Cause I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
| But I ain’t got no silver |
| No pony, no gun |
| All I got’s this hammer |
| Like old John Henry swung |
| Been ten years on this chain gang |
| One more day, and then |
| I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
| Now standing on this rock pile |
| Of four and twenty men |
| Well I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
| I’ve been down before |
| But I won’t be down again |
