文本歌词

Speak up you rusty forty five
How many can you name
That you faced and left alive
How many hit the dust
Left there lying in the street
Did you get them in the back
Or did you face them on their feet
Oh yes You had your day
You were known for slinging lead
Those behind you laughed and shouted
Those in front of you fell dead
There was Utah Pete and One Eyed Jack
Just to mention just a few
So won't you tell me how you feel
Now that your battles have been won
Speak up we've no secrets
For I'm the Man and you're the Gun
Yes you're the gun that tamed the West
And I'm the last one that you faced
The one who owned you then
He was beaten and disgraced
They cheered me
And they wined me the day I shot him down
I was their hero
Heard my praises echo through that Western town
But then although I beat you
You became my own downfall
For I placed you in my holster
The very next fight he got me
Left me wounded and no longer young
But it wasn't him that beat me oh
It was you yes you
The gun
So go on
Hang there on the wall
Ignore me
See if I care
I'll just wheel myself over to the window here
Get me a breath of fresh air
So when some friends comes calling
Was it me or was it you
The Gun
