I'm Too Young Too Die Songtext
von Mark Dinning

I′m too young, too young to die

Oh, a fast gun killed my brother
Filled him full of lead
As he died, I made a promise
I would shoot that gunny dead
I would shoot that gunny dead

My mother cried and held me
Please don't do it, son
You′re too young, you're just too young
To wear your brother's gun
To wear your brother′s gun

I′m too young
I'm too young
I′m too young
Too young to die


As I saddled up my pony
I could hear my mother cry
My brother's guns were heavy
My throat was tight and dry
My throat was tight and dry

I trailed him to Laredo
There I found the gun
Folks in town all knew me
They knew just why I′d come
They knew just why I'd come

I′m too young
I'm too young
I'm too young
Too young to die

I found him by the wayside
A bullet through his head
Another gun had stopped him
And left him there lying dead
And left him there lying dead

They said that I was guilty
I had no alibi
They tied my hands behind me
And said that I must die
And said that I must die


Still sitting in the saddle
They led me to a tree
My little pony didn′t know
He′d be the death of me
He'd be the death of me

A wave of fear went through me
As a bullet tore the sky
The horse beneath me bolted
My time had come to die
My time had come to die

I′m too young
I'm too young
I′m too young
Too young to die
