The Gun the Gold the Girl

The Gun the Gold the Girl - 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

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

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
