| A young boy named Billy Joe, restless on the farm
|
| A boy filled with wanderlust, who never really meant no harm
|
| He changed his clothes and he shined his boots
|
| And he combed his dark hair down
|
| But his mama cried as he walked out:
|
| 'Don't take your guns to town
|
| Don’t take your guns to town
|
| Don’t take your guns… to town'
|
| He laughed and kissed his mom and said 'Your Billy Joe he’s the man
|
| I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight, as anybody, can
|
| But I wouldn’t shoot, without a cause, or gun nobody down'
|
| But she cried again as he rode away:
|
| 'Don't take your guns to town
|
| Son, leave your guns at home
|
| Don’t take your guns to town'
|
| Well he drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hands
|
| And he tried, he tried to tell himself at last he had become a man
|
| But a dusty cowpoke stood at his side, began to laugh him down
|
| And he heard again his mother’s words:
|
| 'Don't take your guns to town
|
| Son, leave your guns at home
|
| Don’t take your guns…'
|
| Don’t take your guns…
|
| Don’t take your guns to town
|
| Don’t take your guns…
|
| Don’t take your guns to town
|
| Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
|
| But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw
|
| As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered around
|
| And wondered at his final words:
|
| 'Don't take your guns to town
|
| Son, leave your guns at home
|
| Don’t take your guns to town' |
