Artist/Band: Billy Walker
Lyrics for Song: Gun the Gold and the Girl
Lyrics for Album: Charlie's Shoes [1970]



(Harlan Howard - Buddy Mize)



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 kept 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.



--- Instrumental ---



I robbed and stole I even killed to win her for my own

Then found her in another's arms one night when I came home

I drew my gun they tried to run but 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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

And I had to have the gold to get the girl...
