Oh, my mother was frightened

By a shof-gun, they say
That's why

I'm such a wonderful shof!
I'd be out in The cactus

And I'd practice all day

And now, tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger
With targets not much bigger

Than a pin-poinf I'm number one
But my score with a feller-

Is lower than a cellar

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal

Yes, I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my lusfer

When with a bronco buster

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun... with a gun

No, you can't get a man wifh a gun.
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle

You'd have steak

When the job was done
But if I shot The harder-
They'd holler bloody murder
And you can't shoot a male

In fhe tail, like a quail

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
If I shot a rabbit

Some furrier would grab it

For a coat

That would warm someone
But you can't shoo'r a lover

And use him for a cover

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals wi'rh unbreller-s

Are always out with fellers

In 'rhe rain, or the blazing sun
But a man never 'rrifles

With gals who carry rifles

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun... with a gun

No you can't get a man wifh a gun.
A man's love is mighty

He' II even buy a nighfie

For a gal who he thinks is fun
But They don't buy pajamas

For pistol packin' Mamas!
For a man may be ho'r
But he's not when he's shot!

Oh, you can't

Get a man with a gun...!
