The song my Glock 30 sings.

 

[Tim Burke]

The Gringo Pistolero. Must be performed on an accordion by an accomplished shooter for greatest effect.

 

[Cromlech]

The Clash - Guns Of Brixton (shame it doesn't really apply anymore)

I know of very few songs that reference handguns (or guns at all). I'm always looking for more, though.

One of 'em is Marty Robbins - Big Iron.

 

[Plain Old Bill]

Easy one-

Jimmy Hendrix- "Hey Joe"

 

[TheFrontRange]

Tactical Ninja - check out The Police

I know it's only one little snippet, but The Police's 1981 album "Ghost In The Machine" includes the song "Invisible Sun"... one of the earliest lines is "...staring at the barrel of an Armalite."

 

[Monkeyleg]

"Stagger Lee," by Lloyd Price.

I like a song with Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, I don't know the name. "you won't get past my 44"

 

[bigcim]

is it jannie or jamies got a gun

 

[BetaShooter]

I'd vote for that "Gimmie 3 Steps" song by Lynrd Skynrd. Hey Joe is great too.

 

[Josh Aston]

.45 by Shinedown.

 

[Biker]

Another "Hey Joe" followed closely by "Gimme Three Steps".

Biker

 

[Geronimo45]

"The Ballad of Irving". An old classic.

 

[Gord]

Somebody needs to record a pro-2A album CCW and all that, instead of the usual 1950s revolver barfight stuff.

You gotta be kidding!!

All these references to gun songs, and only ONE Marty Robbins song has come up? So many to choose from...Hmm...How about:

The Ballad of the Small Man ("He was a small man, but this man was all man. He was accustomed to danger. He knew the Badlands, he knew every bad man. This man was a Ranger.")

Mr. Shorty ("Oh, it's plain that you're lookin' for trouble. Trouble's what I try to shun. But if that's what you want, then that's what you'll get, 'Cause cowboy, we're both packin' guns.")

Five Brothers (the one about the five bros who set out to find the man who murdered their pa)

And maybe my all-time favorite Marty song, The Ballad of the Alamo. That one's so good it'll make ya wanna move to Ft. Worth just so ya kin call yerself a Texan.

Big Iron is a great one too, as several people have noted. Pride and the Badge is another one to check out--sung from the perspective of a sherrif who saves a town when the townspeople aren't sure if they want savin.

BTW, playing Mr. Shorty really loud is how my dad deals with vehicular-related situations that require super-human levels of restraint.
