Peculiar Guy

Peculiar Guy - Lee Hazlewood

Written by：Lee Hazlewood

One night in a card game I lucked at a peculiar run

I won a good team a woman called red and a gun

I won a valley won a mountain so high

But a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy

I worked with my team and I soon grew as rich as the land

The woman called red learned to love me as I loved the land

My valley turned green my mountain smiled down from the sky

But a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy

One morning the lion came down from his kingdom I owned

He killed the woman called red and he left me alone

My valley turned brown my mountain didn't seem so high

But a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy

I climbed up my mountain and burried the woman called red

I emptied my gun in the lion until he laid dead

I left my valley I left my mountain so high

I can't live with mem'ries cause I'm a peculiar guy
