Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns To Town Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
  • A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
  • He changed his clothes and shined his boots
  • And combed his dark hair down
  • And his mother cried as he walked out
  • Don't take your guns to town son
  • Leave your guns at home Bill
  • Don't take your guns to town
  • He laughed and kissed his mom
  • And said your Billy Joe's a man
  • I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
  • But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
  • I'd gun nobody down
  • But she cried again as he rode away
  • Don't take your guns to town son
  • Leave your guns at home Bill
  • Don't take your guns to town
  • He sang a song as on he rode
  • His guns hung at his hips
  • He rode into a cattle town
  • A smile upon his lips
  • He stopped and walked into a bar
  • And laid his money down
  • But his mother's words echoed again
  • Don't take your guns to town son
  • Leave your guns at home Bill
  • Don't take your guns to town
  • He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
  • And tried to tell himself he had become a man
  • A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
  • And he heard again his mothers words
  • Don't take your guns to town son
  • Leave your guns at home Bill
  • Don't take your guns to town
  • Filled with rage then
  • Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
  • But the stranger drew his gun and fired
  • Before he even saw
  • As Billy Joe fell to the floor
  • The crowd all gathered 'round
  • And wondered at his final words
  • Don't take your guns to town son
  • Leave your guns at home Bill
  • Don't take your guns to town
