Gun The Gold And The Girl Lyrics - Billy Walker

I had to have the gun to get the gold and I had to have the gold to get the girl 

She wanted things I couldn't buy I knew I'd lose her love 

And she was everything in life that I've been dreaming of 

And desperation one dark night began my life a crime 

I knew where someone captured a gun and now the gun was mine 

I had to have the gun to get the gold and I had to have the gold to get the girl 

[ guitar ] 

I robbed and stole I even killed to win her for my own 

Then found her in an another's arms one night when I came home 

I drew my gun they tried to run never made the door 

And by their side I threw the gun I wouldn't need no more 

No I wouldn't need the gun to get the gold 

For I wouldn't need the gold to get the girl 

[ guitar ] 

Now very soon I'll meet my doom the rope hangs just outside 

But when I found her in his arms that's when I really died 

Oh I had to have the gun to get the gold and I had to have the gold to get the girl 

Oh I had to have the gun to get the gold and I had to have the gold to get the girl
