Marty Robbins - Shotgun Rider lyrics
[Marty Robbins - Shotgun Rider lyrics]
On the Houston-Dallas stage
I got me a sawed-off hogleg
Twenty is the number guage
I'd shoot anybody that would try
To stop this ride a lot of outlaws tried it
A lot of outlaws died
Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider
Shotgun rider
I was sheriff down in Austin a long
Long time ago
A hangin' judge was a-my best friend and
He never let a poor soul go
I left that town for a better
Job a-ridin' on this stage
Shootin' outlaws with this gun is
How I won my fame
Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider
Shotgun rider
You can ask anybody north of the Rio Grande
If they don't want no trouble
Don't truck with the shotgun man
'Cause I got an itchy finger and
I got an eagle's eye
I can spot a desperado with
Trail dust in my eyes
Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider
Shotgun rider
Well I been a-ridin' shotgun
On the Houston-Dallas stage
I got me a sawed-off hogleg
Twenty is the number guage
I'd shoot anybody that would try
To stop this ride a lot of outlaws tried it
A lot of outlaws died
Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider
Shotgun rider
