Your favorite gun song

[MikeNice]

Johnny Cash had many great gun songs. Cocaine Blues and Don't Take Your Guns To Town are my two favorite.

Lynrd Skynyrd's Gimme Back My Bullets is another top one in my book. Hank Williams Jr's Country Boy Can Survive nearly rounds out my top five.

 

[FROGO207]

Another vote for Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.
Also Da Turdy Point Buck by Bananas At Large.

Battle of New Orleans---Can't remember the author.

 

[Ole Coot]

Got it right with Hank Jr. An old WV Hillbilly and a Country Boy CAN survive for sure.

Seven Spanish Angels

He looked down into her brown eyes, Said, Say a prayer for me.
She threw her arms around him, Whispered, God will keep us free.
They could hear the riders comin, He said, This is my last fight.
If they take me back to Texas, They won't take me back alive.
**Chorus**
There were seven Spanish Angels, At the alter of the Sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers, In the valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped, And the smoke cleared. There was thunder from the throne.
And seven Spanish angels, Took another angel home.
She reached down and picked the gun up, That lay smokin in his hand.
She said, Father please forgive me, I can't make it without my man.
And she knew the gun was empty, And she knew she couldn't win.
Her final prayer was answered, when the rifles fired again.
chorus

Another vote for Marty Robbins Big Iron, a song which was covered by not only Johnny Cash, but a raggae singer known as "Eek-a-Mouse".

Here's Marty:

"I Got Rights" by Hank Williams, Jr.

"Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" by Warren Zevon

"Lay That Pistol Down, Kate"...I can't remember the artist...lol.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

Sir Mix-a-lot...No Holds Barred. The Classic Second Amendment Anthem.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Gene Pitney's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was good, though it was far from HIS best. My favorite has always been Desperado by Alice Cooper.

100 boxes of Glocks on the wall 100 boxes of Glocks, if one of those boxes just happens to fall 99 boxes of glocks on the wall, etc. Good for long bus rides
