Silver Target - Sheb Wooley[00:00:00]

Towns sprung up across the plain[00:00:08]

But soon the desperados came[00:00:10]

And gunshot echoed in the streets[00:00:13]

In a western town that mushroamed[00:00:22]

Along the great frontier[00:00:24]

Was mostly honest folks that came to stay[00:00:27]

But law was slow in comin'[00:00:32]

And the bad men soon appereared[00:00:34]

Flockin' in like vultures to the prey[00:00:37]

Those that tried to stop[00:00:42]

Them in their pillage of the town[00:00:44]

Bit the dust of Main Street one by one[00:00:47]

Till no one had the courage to step[00:00:52]

Forward fom the rest[00:00:55]

And volunteer to wear a silver target on his chest[00:00:57]

The town sent for a Ranger to stop the lawless breed[00:01:03]

Men who bragged of killin's they had done[00:01:08]

The bad men heard them threaten[00:01:14]

But they laughed and paid no heed[00:01:16]

For who would dare to face their deadly guns[00:01:19]

It only made them bolder[00:01:23]

And the terror grew and grew[00:01:26]

Till one day the Ranger reached the town[00:01:29]

The bad men saw him comin'[00:01:34]

And they spoke in vulgar jest[00:01:36]

One of the quiet man[00:01:38]

Who wore a silver target on his chest[00:01:40]

In the noonday sun a panic[00:01:47]

Had hit the dusty street[00:01:50]

But from every window they all saw[00:01:52]

The showdown soon was comin'[00:01:58]

And the odds he had to beat[00:02:00]

With four to one against the Ranger's draw[00:02:02]

Then sudden death cut loose[00:02:07]

And when the smoke had cleared away[00:02:09]

The outlaws lay there dyin' in the street[00:02:12]

But a scarlet stain[00:02:17]

Was spreadin' in the center of the West[00:02:19]

Of the quiet man[00:02:22]

Who wore a silver target on his chest[00:02:24]

His name is not recorded in the book of history[00:02:29]

But on a marble stone you still can read[00:02:34]

Here lies a man who figured in the winnin' of the West[00:02:39]

A quiet man who wore a silver target on his chest[00:02:44]
