Shining Pistol - Original - Leroy Carr

I’m going to get me a brand new pistol: with a long shiny barrel

I’m going to ramble this town over: until I find my girl

I’m going to go to the station: and try to find her there

And if the Lord has not got her: she’s in this world somewhere

She left me with a head full of trouble: and a head full of misery

And now she’s got me crying: baby please come back home to me

My mother told me: don’t you weep don’t you moan

Because son there’ll be women here: when you dead and gone

When I get through rambling: and looking this whole world through

I won’t be dead with trouble: you know I died to *lose*
