The Man from Laramie - Petula Clark, Jimmy Young

The man from Laramie

He was a man with a peaceful turn of mind

He was kind of sociable and friendly

Friendly as any man could be

But you never saw a man out-draw

The man from Laramie

The man from Laramie

He was a man with a warm and gentle heart

But when they’d start the arguing and fightin'

Frightenin' and lightning fast was he

There was no coyote who could outshoot

The man from Laramie

He had a flair for ladies

The ladies loved his air of mystery

The west will never see

A man with so many notches on his gun

Everyone admired the fearless stranger

Danger was this man’s speciality

So they never bossed or double crossed

The man from Laramie

He had a flair for ladies

Now the ladies loved his air of mystery

The west will never see

A man with so many notches on his gun

Everyone admired the fearless stranger

Danger was this man’s speciality

So they never bossed or double crossed
