Lyrics Shinin Pistol - Leroy Carr, Scrapper Blackwell

Shinin Pistol

I’m going to get me a brand new pistol: with a long shiny barrel
I’m going to ramble this town over: until I find my girl
I’m going to go to the station: and try to find her there
And if the Lord has not got her: she’s in this world somewhere
She left me with a head full of trouble: and a head full of misery
And now she’s got me crying: baby please come back home to me
My mother told me: don’t you weep don’t you moan
Because son there’ll be women here: when you dead and gone
When I get through rambling: and looking this whole world through
I won’t be dead with trouble: you know I died to *lose*
