Dangerous gun handling in songs!

[redneck]

"When I was just a young boy
My momma told me son, always be a good boy
don't every play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die.
Now I here that train a comin, I hang my head and cry"

Johnny Cash, "folsom prison blues"


"Don't take your guns to town son, leave your guns at home bill"

Also Johhny cash "don't take your guns to town" I can't think of all the words, "a young cowpoke named billy joe grew restless on the farm", and then got shot in a saloon.

'I'm gonna buy me a shotgun, with a big long shiny barrel.'

Does it have ghost ring sights?

 

[Dave P]

No one said Beatles yet??

Happiness is a warm gun
When I hold you in my arms, and I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm -Yes it is - Gun..........

[Joe Demko]

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore, he threw an eight
Stagger Lee told "Billy,
I can't let you get away with that
Well, you've won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat"

Stagger Lee ran home
Went and got him his 44
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Said, "I' m going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Stagger Lee went to the bar room
Boy, he stood across the bar room doors
Said, "now, nobody move"
And he pulled out his 44

"Stagger Lee", cried Billy
"Oh, please don't you take my life
I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
"got me three little children
And a very, very sickly wife"

Stagger Lee shot Billy
Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad
That the bullet came thru Billy
And went right thru the bartender's glass

While I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Well, he was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

From "Stagger Lee" which was recorded by lots of people, including Neil Diamond!

 

[Nathaniel Firethorn]

"Now, Smack Water Jack bought a shotgun,
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation.
He kinda let it all hang loose,
And didn't think about the noose.
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation."

Man shoulda tried skeet instead...

Aerosmith, Janie's got a gun

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last IOU
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said cause nobody believes me
The man is such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Hmmm, which safety rule does that violate?

Jerk-off by Tool

"If consequences dictate
our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right.
It's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action
I should play GOD
and just shoot you myself.*"

That morning a lady locked arms with a shotgun, and the pistol rode west with the sun, now the outlaws of tombstone and the outlaws forever know death is the way of the gun.

re1973, that's the one I was gonna post!!

Kharn, wasn't that song about a girl who was abused or molested by her father?

Don.

"Accidents will happen,
We all heard Ricky say
He fired that six-shot to the wind
And that child blew a child away!"

(From the Skid Row classic, "18 and Life.")

I love that song. But when that ^ part of the song comes on, I get chills down my back. And the video! Ohmygoodness.

 

[SemperFi83]

Any Marty Robbins song

"He might have went on livin'
But he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the Ranger
With the big iron on his hip."

johnny cash - cover of Sting's "i hung my head"

Early one morning, with time to kill
I borrowed Jeb’s rifle, and sat on the hill
I saw a lone rider, crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him, to practice my aim
My brother’s rifle, went off in my hand
The shot rang out, across the land
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

I set off running, to wake from the dream
My brother’s rifle, went into the sheen
I kept on running, into the southlands
That’s where they found me, my head in my hands
The sheriff he asked me, ‘Why had I run?’
And then it came to me, just what I had done
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
I see the judge, high up in his chair
Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind
And we’ll ask the jury, what verdict they find
I felt the power, of death over life
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
I begged their forgiveness, I wish I was dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Early one morning, with time to kill
I see the gallows, up on the hill
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
I see a lone rider, crossing the plain
And he come to fetch me, to see what they’d done
And we’ll ride together, till kingdom come
I pray for god’s mercy, for soon I’ll be dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Dangerous gun handling - OK

The Ballad of Irving
Frank Gallop

- Available on LP _When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish_, originally
released on Kapp Records KRL-4506 in 1966, but re-released in 1993 on Rhino
Records CD/CS 71084, paired with _You Don't Have To Be Jewish_.
- also released as a single, 1966.
- also available on _Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary Collection_, Rhino Records
CD/CS 70743, 1991.

He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest.
He was mean and nasty right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too.

They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread,
With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head.* [see below]
He always followed his mother's wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sissy Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,
But Irving was looking for one forty-three.
Walked into Sol's Saloon like a man insane,
And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sport Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
----------------
[The following lines were edited out of the original release, and are only in
the version available on Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary Collection.]

One day Bad Max happened into town.
His aim was to shoot fat Irving down.
Bad Max said, "Draw, and draw right now!"
And Irving drew, drew a picture of a cow.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big gunfighter Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
----------------

The James Boys was comin' on a train at first sun,
And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun."
When that train pulled in at the break of dawn,
Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big help, Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly.
It was right outside the Frontier Deli.
He was sittin' there twirlin' his gun around,
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down!

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big dum-dum Irving.
Big dum-dum dead Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
Really.

*The line about the 10-gallon yarmulke was on the original LP, but the single
version and subsequent LP pressings substituted the line:
Schlepping a salami and pumpernickel bread.
This substitution was made because the record company felt the joke would be
lost on non-Jewish listeners.

Whoa there Billll, LOL, that takes me back a few years (I always did love "But Irving was looking for one forty-three") A true classic
