Gunfighter Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

(Gunfighter) Marta woke me up that night and she began to cry 

She tried to tell me once before about another guy 

She held a letter in her hand her body shook with fear 

The man she left so long ago at last was riding here 

Next day the dark eyed stranger came and called me to the yard 

I'd picked up my rusty gun my blood was pounding hard 

He said it let me ride away if I give up my wife 

But if I chose to stay in draw it have to take my life 

Gunfighter who is wrong or right 

The man who fights to love or the man who loves to fight 

I didn't want to fight the man and I didn't want to run 

But slowly he began to count and I went for my gun 

Then out of whip his hand lashed out so quick I couldn't see 

Before I even touched my gun his bullet burdened me 

I felt my strenght go leaking out my eyelids turned to red 

I watched him aimed the second shot directly at my head 

Just then I heard my Marta say gunfigter turn around 

She raised my shotgun to her whip and blew him off to ground 

Gunfighter who is wrong or right... 

Gunfighter who is wrong or right...
