Cattleman's Gun - Dean Brody (迪恩·布罗迪)[00:00:00]
He rode into town one dust storm[00:00:27]
Sheepskin cloak across his back[00:00:30]
A preacher man with kind old eyes[00:00:33]
And a mystery for a past[00:00:37]
He said he'd come to teach[00:00:40]
About the love of God[00:00:41]
But he soon learned what they were missing there[00:00:46]
Was justice and the law[00:00:50]
There was a cattleman who claimed his clan[00:00:52]
Owned all the land around[00:00:56]
And any brave fool that might dispute[00:00:59]
He was quick to snuff 'em out[00:01:02]
He'd say "Take my heed[00:01:05]
And you won't pay the price[00:01:07]
'Cause honor and a name ain't worth a damn[00:01:12]
If you don't have your life"[00:01:15]
He'd say "Ain't nobody faster than this cattleman's gun[00:01:18]
I'm a rattlesnake on the trigger[00:01:22]
Your last stand will be lyin' in the sand[00:01:25]
Fallin' to the slam of my hammer"[00:01:28]
So one man taught forgiveness[00:01:37]
While the other taught suffering[00:01:40]
Preacher said deliverance[00:01:43]
Could be found out on their knees[00:01:46]
He said "I know you want justice[00:01:49]
And you want blood[00:01:52]
But believe me when I say to you[00:01:56]
Don't try and be that man's judge"[00:01:59]
'Cause ain't nobody faster than that cattleman's gun[00:02:02]
He's a rattlesnake on the trigger[00:02:05]
Your last stand will be lyin' in the sand[00:02:09]
Fallin' to the slam of his hammer[00:02:12]
One day a young farmer[00:02:31]
Brought his sons to town for feed[00:02:33]
And noticed that the streets were quiet[00:02:37]
And he knew what that might mean[00:02:40]
The smoke rose in the distance[00:02:43]
His farm burned to the ground[00:02:45]
He let the fury overtake him[00:02:49]
When cattleman came back to town[00:02:52]
Those boys ran out from behind the crowd[00:02:56]
And watched their daddy die[00:02:59]
The big man laughed and said "Now look at that[00:03:02]
Anybody else wanna give it a try "[00:03:05]
Well the church doors opened with that black cloak[00:03:09]
Flowin' behind the preacher's fiery eyes[00:03:11]
He said "Your ticket to hell is a comin' to you[00:03:15]
And I got a hollow-point to give you the ride"[00:03:18]
And the only thing faster than the cattleman's gun[00:03:22]
Was the preacher man's handy finger[00:03:25]
He pulled iron from his side and let that bullet fly[00:03:28]
Beat the rattlesnake to the hammer[00:03:31]
While the preacher embraced forgiveness[00:03:35]
Oh they finally understood[00:03:38]
Under that sheepskin cloak of his[00:03:43]
Was a history of blood[00:03:46]
