Hairtrigger Colt's .44I'm a man who's goin' to hell with heaven's blessingThe judge said I'm not fit to live with men They're building me a gallows in the courtyard To make sure I don't pass this way again My first taste of killin' was at Vicksburg I must have shot me a hundred men I learned to make my livin' with a six-gun I'm an outlaw now but I was a hero then Ohh Lord if I had only known the misery That glory's somethin' not worth killin' for I wish now I had never touched the handle Of a Hairtrigger Colt .44 I was a hunted desperado A wanted man with a price on my head I thought that I could steal a taste of freedom But I got me a hangman's noose instead Ohh Lord if I had only known the misery That glory's somethin' not worth killin' for I wish now I had never touched the handle Of a Hairtrigger Colt .44 Undertaker write on my tombstone A killer finally killed and nothin' more I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for Providence And a Hairtrigger Colt .44 Ohh Lord if I had only known the misery That glory's somethin' not worth killin' for I wish now I had never touched the handle Of a Hairtrigger Colt .44 Ohh Lord if I had only known the misery That glory's somethin' not worth killin' for I wish now I had never touched the handle Of a Hairtrigger Colt .44 |
