Lady & the Six-Gun

Lyrics

Lady & the Six-Gun I was thinkin?, In the mornin?, I?d saddle up and ride away from this old town I ain?t fakin?, all I?m takin?, is my pony with my six-gum by my side. But there?s a woman, askin? questions Got no answers, I can mention. Just the kind that make a lady wanna cry. Time to go now, hit the road now, with my six-gun, not a lady by my side. She says she want to settle down, buy a spread outside of town But you know a cowboy?s home is on the range. Hitch it up now, I just can?t stop now, I?m on my pony, with my six-gun by my side I told her that I had to go, she said she just don?t think so But I told her you can?t tie a cowboy down. Hear my say now, I?m on my way now, the my six-gun not a lady, by my side. And so I?m ridin?, through Stone Canyon, when a lasso brings my pony to the ground. Guess I?ll stay now, what can I say now ... that my lady?s got my six-gun by her side. You know my lady?s, got my six-gun. . . by her side. (Can?t believe it! Wonder if anything like this ever happened to The Duke? Girl sure can rope. . . got me from clear up on that ridge Life ain?t never gonna be the same . . .)
