Song about the wild west.

lyrics

Gunslinger
By Steve Burdette & Randy Bishop (ASCAP)
©2020, Rokit Music



V1
Jesse was a gamblin’ man
Hung out at Hank’s saloon
When he walked in through those swingin’ doors
A hush fell over the room
He wore his six-gun by his side
And everybody feared his wrath
When he’d gun somebody down
You could hear ol’ Jesse laugh

CHORUS:
But I say hey, Gunslinger
Oh Gunslinger, what will you do
When you finally meet somebody
Yeah, somebody… faster than you

V2
It was a Sunday in that dusty town
When a cowboy came to play
Laid his chips down at the empty seat
Didn’t have a lot to say
But Jessie didn’t call his bluff
Drew his .45 instead
Then he called that man a cheatin’ scum
And shot him in the head

CHORUS II:
And I say hey, Gunslinger
Oh Gunslinger, what will you do
When you finally meet somebody
Yeah, somebody… faster than you

BRIDGE:
God looked down on that lawless town
and said "I've got the cure"
I'll send down my Dark Angel
End ol’ Jessie's reign for sure
Yes, for sure…oh yeah


V3
A Preacher came into the bar
And said you shot my son
Jesse stood before the man in black
His hand slid toward his gun
The preacher held his Bible up
Turned to Proverbs 24
Took out his hidden Derringer
Left Jesse dyin’ on the floor

LAST CHORUS:
And I said hey, Gunslinger
Yeah, Gunslinger, what will you do
When you finally meet somebody
Oh somebody… faster than you

Yes, you finally met somebody
Whoa somebody…oh yeah, faster than you
