I Gunned Him Down
He was an outlaw gunfighter, so the poster claimed
I was out for provocation and to make myself a name
We both met at daybreak and the law was on his side
He wore a tarnished badge of honor, U.S. Marshall was enscribed
I gunned him down
Pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
A wanted vigilante, with the price upon my head
I can't be forgiven for the man that I left dead
A running desperado with a six-gun at my side
One notch marks the memory of the man that had to die
When I gunned him down
I pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
Alone in this prison with the error of my way
Soon they'll put that rope around me, and send me to my grave
They're building me a gallows out in the courthouse square
And they're sending in a preacher to help me say my prayers
'Cause I gunned him down
I pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
I was out for provocation and to make myself a name
We both met at daybreak and the law was on his side
He wore a tarnished badge of honor, U.S. Marshall was enscribed
I gunned him down
Pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
A wanted vigilante, with the price upon my head
I can't be forgiven for the man that I left dead
A running desperado with a six-gun at my side
One notch marks the memory of the man that had to die
When I gunned him down
I pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
Alone in this prison with the error of my way
Soon they'll put that rope around me, and send me to my grave
They're building me a gallows out in the courthouse square
And they're sending in a preacher to help me say my prayers
'Cause I gunned him down
I pulled that pistol from my hip
And the shots rang out
I just let that bullet rip
As the bullet passed between us, he fell upon his knees
And I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
I gunned him down
As I stood and watched him bleed
