You Can't Get a Man With a Gun
Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say That's why I'm such a wonderful shot I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day And now tell me what have I got
I'm quick on the trigger With targets not much bigger Than a pinpoint - I'm number one But my score with a feller Is lower than a cellar Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol I sparkle like a crystal Yes, I shine like the morning sun But I lose all my luster When with a bronco buster Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gu-un With a gu-un No, you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle With someone's herd of cattle You'd have steak when the job was done But if I shot the herder They'd holler bloody murder And you can't shoot a male In the tail Like a quail Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
[2] If I shot a rabbit Some furrier would grab it For a coat that would warm someone But you can't shoot a lover And use him for a cover Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellers Are always out with fellers In the rain or the blazing sun But a man never trifles With gals who carry rifles Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gu-un With a gu-un No, you can't get a man with a gun
A Tom, Dick or Harry Will build a house for Carrie When the preacher has made them one But he can't build you houses With buckshot in his trousers For a man may be hot But he's not When he's shot Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
