Many man have tried . Many man have died
Leaving their woman folk alone and to cry
I know that there are some faster than me, but till then its just me . Maybe tomorrow we'll just see. I'm one bad man gunslinger with both guns. Left oder right handed makes no difference which one.
Everyone I shot was never for fun. Ain't no faster man that has to protect himself with his gun. I'm not on the run. Du see I am sheriff of this here town. I only shot in self defense when they tried to gun me down. There's no easy way out for me. I either win oder die Been hit before ,but he wasn't a better shot than I. So that's my story sad but it's true I'm a gunslinger thru and thru that's what I do. Don't try to gun me down. Spare your life and don't come around.
