Sundown - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

Written by：M. Robbins[00:00:01]

Bill Thaxton was an ex-ranger[00:00:08]

One of the bravest by far[00:00:11]

It's said that old Bill was the fastest man ever[00:00:15]

To pin on a ranger's star[00:00:19]

Stories about him were legends[00:00:23]

Bill was the best of the bold[00:00:27]

Bad men all feared him way back in his day[00:00:31]

But he was now growing old[00:00:35]

Into Bill's town rode an outlaw[00:00:41]

He wore his gun low and tied down[00:00:44]

He reined in his horse and announced to the crowd[00:00:48]

If you speak to me call me sundown[00:00:52]

His clothes were all dark and fancy[00:00:56]

And topped by a black leather vest[00:01:00]

Somebody asked how he came by his name[00:01:04]

And if he was one of the best[00:01:08]

The eyes of the tall stranger narrowed[00:01:14]

He grinned like the devil possessed[00:01:18]

I never fight till the sun's going down[00:01:22]

And my back is facing the west[00:01:25]

Said he wouldn't be with us tomorrow[00:01:35]

He only rode in for one thing[00:01:39]

He only stopped by to make Bill Thaxton die[00:01:43]

So he could add to his fame[00:01:47]

Go give Bill Thaxton a message[00:01:51]

And tell him a killer's in town[00:01:55]

Tell him we'll meet at the end of the street[00:01:59]

Just as the sun's going down[00:02:03]

Somebody said it had been years[00:02:09]

Since old Bill had toted a gun[00:02:12]

Sundown replied that it wasn't his hide[00:02:17]

Killing old Bill would be fun[00:02:21]

The old ranger sent back his answer[00:02:25]

Tell him that I'm on my way[00:02:28]

I've never ran and I'll meet this young man[00:02:32]

At any time of the day[00:02:36]

Bill got there just about sunset[00:02:42]

It still hung like fire in the sky[00:02:46]

In just a few moments out there in the street[00:02:50]

Old Bill or the outlaw would die[00:02:54]

Slowly Bill slid from the saddle[00:03:04]

And started to make his advance[00:03:07]

The sun hit the old ranger square in the eyes[00:03:11]

The shadows had started to dance[00:03:15]

Bill started talking to sundown[00:03:19]

Judging his distance that way[00:03:24]

Their stride was the same and at just thirty feet[00:03:27]

Both of the men made their play[00:03:31]

Bill's gun slipped leather like lightning[00:03:37]

His forty four spoke with a whine[00:03:41]

The sun didn't bother Bill Thaxton at all[00:03:45]

Because the old ranger was blind[00:03:49]

Six shots delivered their message[00:03:53]

The ranger had emptied his gun[00:03:57]

Old Bill gave a sigh when there was no reply[00:04:00]

He knew that once more he had won[00:04:05]

The old ranger lowered his six gun[00:04:11]

He just stood there starting ahead[00:04:14]

Watching you'd think that old Bill didn't know[00:04:18]

In front of him sundown lay dead[00:04:22]

Bill has been gone for a long time[00:04:32]

But old timers still can recall[00:04:36]

The day the old ranger stood up to the test[00:04:40]

And proved he was best of them all[00:04:44]
