Priceless Antique Pistol Shoots Startled Owner - Corb Lund
Inspect the silver inlay
And the finely engraved steel
Rich carved ivory grips
With checkered lines that you can feel
You'll find it premature to call
The calibre obsolete
When olden tyme design
And modern treacherous-ness meet
It's A curio that's slipped
Between our current laws as read
Priceless as an artifact
But leaves you just as dead
Craftsmanship like this is not
Displayed much anymore
And there ain't too many gangstas
Shooting Russian 44
To think a learned chronicler
Like you would be the one
Whose eye for detail failed to
See him dusting off your gun
You must be the first in ninety
Years to meet his death
By way of antique archaic
Black powder pistol's breath
Despite your recent injuries
You must admit that still
It remains an elegant
And stylish way to kill
Yes despite my injuries
Good sir I cannot lie
It remains an elegant
And stylish way to die
