I know it's a Johnny Horton song, but I like this version better.

I haven't read all the responses, but I damn sure hope someone suggested "anything by Robert Earl Keen"! He mentions .410's, 16 gauges, lever actions, six guns, etc. Nearly every song has a gun in it.

Marshall Tucker Band
Fire on the Mountain
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Waitin' for me there

Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash...

Early one morning while making the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down.
I shot her down then I went to bed.
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.

The Clash - Tommy Gun

“Tommy gun, you ain’t happy less you got one.”

Mission of Burma - That's when I reach for my Revolver

The title is a reference to the often-mistranslated quotation from the German play Schlageter, -- “When I hear the word 'culture', that's when I reach for my revolver."

The actual quote is "Wenn ich Kultur höre ... entsichere ich meinen Browning!" This translates as: "Whenever I hear [the word] 'culture'... I remove the safety from my Browning!"
