Lyrics for The Fastest Gun Around by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Fastest Gun Around | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | In the days of William Bonney better known as Bill The Kid
A young cowboy named Joey Steel was
'bout to make his bid
Well, he heard one day that Bill The Kid had just rode into town
And
if he could take him he would be the fastest gun around
He was just a kid of seventeen
but he had a lightin' hand
And he said it's time I showed the world that I've become a
man
Everyone thinks Billy is the fastest gun around
But they will know I'm faster when
they see me shoot him down
They finally came together down on Main Street just at
five
The people were all gathered wonderin' who'd be left alive
Billy knew that Joey
wanted notches on his gun
And he wished that he could give him those he'd carved upon his
own
Joey's hand went to his side, he was sure that he had won
But before he even
fired he saw the smoke of Billy's gun
And he felt the bullet hit him hard and before his eyes
he saw
His wasted life pass quickly ending with this fatal draw
Billy breathed more
easily and he put away his gun
And he tried to ease his conscience for the wrong that he had
done
Then he saddled up his horse and headed Westward out of town
And he wondered just how
long he'd be the fastest gun around | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
