He rode into town All dusty, alone You could see from his eyes He never knew home And his right hand sat lazy On top of his horse But close to his gun Loaded of course Chorus I’m a lone gunslinger from I can’t remember where I’ve been all over, going from there to about here And my gun’s never empty: but my heart always is; For I have no wife or family, no place that I miss! Went to the saloon Shutters flapping behind And walked to the bar All spotted the signs As a young cow hand So Bravado drunk Went for his gun Till dead he just sunk. Chorus He emptied his glass With a tear in each eye Just turning to leave He gave a sad sigh “All I want Is just a little peace A roof o’er my head And the dying to cease!†Chorus Back in the street The townsfolk walked round Till out of the shadows Bullets brought him down “I shot the gun slinger†The final words that he heard “You saw- he made me do it†But all the dying man said Was I’m a lone gunslinger from I can’t remember where I’ve been all over, going from there to about here And my gun’s never empty: but my heart always was; For I had no wife or family, no place that I’ve lost! On windy boot hill There is a lonely cross To an unknown gunslinger When he finally lost And his killer For what he went and done Is now a famous man With no friends -not a single one! For he is a lone gunslinger from he can’t remember where And he's been all over, going from here to about there His gun is never empty but his heart it always is For he have no wife or family, no place that he missed Sorry as don't normal write songs
