[Verse:] 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? [1st refrain:] 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 shoot a male in the tail like a quail Oh, you can't get a man with a gun Letras de canciones[2nd refrain:] 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 And you can't get a hug from a mug with a slug Oh, you can't get a man with a gun [3rd refrain:] If I shot a rabbit, some furrier would grab it For a coat that would warm someone But you can't shoot a lover and use him for a cover Oh, you can't get a man with a gun If I shot an eagle, although it wasn't legal He'd be stuffed when the job is done But you can't stuff a feller and keep him in your cellar 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 Tom, Dick or Harry will build a house for Carrie When the preacher has made them one But he can't build you houses with buckshot in his trousers For a man may be hot but he's not when he's shot Oh, you can't get a man with a gun From Letras Mania
