Slim Carter Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Who's gonna give a job to old slim carter, 

Who's gonna give a man a place to say. 

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man 

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand 

Who needs a gunhand 

I heard he was born somewhere in south dakota 

His mama ran off with an indian agent 

They say they hung his daddy for selling bad whiskey to the balckfeet 

So at ten years old, he hit the road, and kept on moving

Who's gonna give a job to old slim carter 

Who's gonna give a man a place to say 

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man 

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand 

Who needs a gunhand 

He finally ended up in hollywood california 

He hocked the gold buckle that he worked so hard for 

Landed a job as a stuntman for america's favorite cowboy 

Until the stage had a wreck, he broke his neck 

And it was all over

Who's gonna give a man a place to say 

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man 

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand 

Who needs a gunhand 

Who needs a gunhand 

Who needs a gunhand?
