The Gunslinger's Lament

I was a hired gun for sale
I was taught to kill
I shoot two gold revolvers
And I'll burn in hell

I ride a horse named Jed
Stole by a shot to the head
I'm the sickest son of a gun
That ain't yet dead

My father worked the railroad
Drank away his life
My mother was the devil and
Dad made her his wife

I had a twin brother
But he was put down
Born without a mouth and
Took to the river to drown

Life had always been quite hard
For a sinner like me
I never known no good
Brought up by misdeeds
I know one day
My killer will come around
But until that day
I'll be hunting you down.

The stories I'd tell
If I wanted talkin
I got to keep killing
Or I gotta to keep on walkin

I once found true love
She was from China but
Wouldn't leave her husband so I
Killed em in South Carolina

They had seven kids
All real smart
I sold em to the butcher
Down at the meat mart

Ever eaten human?
Tastes like squirrels
But I have a soft spot see
I.. I never ate them girls


Life had always been quite hard
For a sinner like me
I never known no good
Brought up by misdeeds
I know one day
My killer will come around
But until that day
I'll be hunting you down.

I got a scar on my face
That connects down to my heel
From when I was a toddler
And taught not to feel

I'm addicted to drink
I'm crazy and high
I cut off the face of the man who
Gave me my glass eye

I don't plan on a long life
I hope for the end
I'm a tortured soul of sorts I
Killed my only friend

The saddest story I've ever known
It is my own
Cause no one will ever realize it
After I've been gone

Life had always been quite hard
For a sinner like me
I never known no good
Brought up by misdeeds
I know one day
My killer will come around
But until that day
I'll be hunting you down.

I'll be hunting you down.
