cowboy song - help yourself lyrics

you will hear them talk of gunfighters
so tall they touch the texas skies
my pa, he was an honest man
and sheriff of our town, you understand
he got too much trouble one hot and dusty day
his gun had done him down, down, down
his gun had done him down

billy lee from colorado aimed to make a name
terrorizing peaceful folks, gunfighting was his game
yes and i recall when my pa walked proud
six foot tall and all
his old bone handled buntline iron
still hangs upon our wall

you will hear them talk of gunfighters
so tall they touch the texas sky
my pa, he was an honest man
and sheriff of our town, you understand
he got too much trouble one hot and dusty day
his gun had done him down, down, down
his gun had done him down

i just got back from a civil war
old belle was there to greet
but her ears still pr*cked
as she heard the sound of running feet
i raised my tired head
and i took my battered hide
and then i saw a man who said
“hey, billy lee’s in town
and he’ll beat you to the draw”
well i couldn’t let my tired mind hide the memory
my only thought upon the day
was to gun down billy lee
i met him by the old corral
and so it seemed to me
i saw a rider in the sky looking down on me
well billy lee, he drew so fast
my eyes could scarcely see
but i had the buntline in my hand
and i dropped down on one knee
well billy’s lead flew past my head
it was terrible to see
his blood got spilling all in the dust
i k!lled that billy lee
you will hear them talk of gunfighters
so tall they touch the texas skies
i am my father’s son
and sheriff of our town, you understand
billy lee from colorado
don’t shoot too good no more
his gun had done him down, down, down
his gun had done him down, down, down
his gun had done him down
