oh my mother was shot by a shotgun they say that's 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 mornin' sun.
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun.
With a gun.
no 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'y shoot a male in the tail like a quail.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
If I shot a rabbit, some furrier would grab it
For a coat that would warm someone
But you can't shoot a lover and use him for a cover Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals with umbrellers are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing 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
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
A Tom, Dick or Harry will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can't build you houses with buckshot in his trousers
For a man may be hot but he's not when he's shot
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
