The Gun the Gold and the Girl Songtext
von Billy Walker

I had to have the gun to get the gold
And I had to have the gold to get the girl

She wanted things I couldn′t buy I knew I'd lose her love
And she was everything in life that I′ve been dreaming of
And desperation one dark night began my life a crime
I knew where someone kept a gun and now the gun was mine

I had to have the gun to get the gold
And I had to have the gold to get the girl


I robbed and stole I even killed to win her for my own
Then found her in another's arms one night when I came home
I drew my gun they tried to run but never made the door
And by their side I threw the gun I wouldn't need no more

No, I wouldn′t need the gun to get the gold
For I wouldn′t need the gold to get the girl

Now very soon I'll meet my doom the rope hangs just outside
But when I found her in his arms that′s when I really died

Oh, I had to have the gun to get the gold
And I had to have the gold to get the girl

Oh, I had to have the gun to get the gold
And I had to have the gold to get the girl...
