You Can't Get A Man With A Gun Lyrics

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me what have I got

I'm quick on the trigger 
With targets not much bigger 
Than a pinpoint - I'm number one
But my score with a feller
Is lower than a cellar
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal
Yes, I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster
When with a bronco buster
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
 
With a gu-un
With a gu-un
No, you can't get a man with a gun
 
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle 
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder
They'd holler bloody murder
And you can't get a hug
From a mug
With a slug
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
 
[2]
I'm cool, brave and daring 
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

The gals with umbrellers 
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
 
With a gu-un
With a gu-un
No, you can't get a man with a gun

A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nighty
For a gal who he thinks is fun 
But they don't buy pajamas
For pistol packin' mamas
Oh, you can't shoot a male
In the tail 
Like a quail
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
