You Can't Get a Man with a Gun

歌詞

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say Thats 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 celler, 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, oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh 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. I'm cool, brave, and daring to see a lion glaring when I'm out with my Remington. But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister oh you can't get a man with a gun The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers in the rain or the blazin 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, oh you can't get a man with a gun. A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie for a gal who he thinks is fun. But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin mamas and you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug oh you can't get a man with a gun.
