Don't Take Your Guns to Town - Johnny Cash Tony Bennett[00:00:00]
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm[00:00:04]
A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm[00:00:09]
He changed his clothes and shined his boots[00:00:14]
And combed his dark hair down[00:00:16]
And his mother cried as he walked out[00:00:19]
Don't take your guns to town son[00:00:22]
Leave your guns at home Bill[00:00:25]
Don't take your guns to town[00:00:29]
He laughed and kissed his mom[00:00:36]
And said your Billy Joe's a man[00:00:37]
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can[00:00:41]
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause[00:00:47]
I'd gun nobody down[00:00:49]
But she cried again as he rode away[00:00:52]
Don't take your guns to town son[00:00:57]
Leave your guns at home Bill[00:01:00]
Don't take your guns to town[00:01:03]
He sang a song as on he rode[00:01:10]
His guns hung at his hips[00:01:13]
He rode into a cattle town[00:01:16]
A smile upon his lips[00:01:18]
He stopped and walked into a bar[00:01:21]
And laid his money down[00:01:23]
But his mother's words echoed again[00:01:26]
Don't take your guns to town son[00:01:31]
Leave your guns at home Bill[00:01:34]
Don't take your guns to town[00:01:38]
He drank his first strong liquor[00:01:45]
Then to calm his shaking hand[00:01:47]
And tried to tell himself[00:01:50]
At last he had become a man[00:01:52]
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down[00:01:55]
And he heard again his mother's words[00:02:01]
Don't take your guns to town son[00:02:06]
Leave your guns at home Bill[00:02:09]
Don't take your guns to town[00:02:13]
Filled with rage then[00:02:20]
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw[00:02:21]
But the stranger drew his gun and fired[00:02:25]
Before he even saw[00:02:28]
As Billy Joe fell to the floor[00:02:30]
The crowd all gathered round[00:02:33]
And wondered at his final words[00:02:35]
Don't take your guns to town son[00:02:40]
Leave your guns at home Bill[00:02:44]
Don't take your guns to town[00:02:48]
