Lay Down Your Gun (Version Two) Songtext / Lyric

drifting in on a dust cloud parched and dirty from the ride

he tied his horse to a fence post and strapped a gun to his side

across the square walked a lady indian girl dressed in black

as she walked by she smiled and said as she walked by she said



lay down your gun young boy lay down your gun young man

lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die






in her eye he saw a tear winter rose she gave to him

on his cheek she placed a kiss and prayed to set him free

spotted the lady standing waiting there

with outstretched hands to stop that bloody bloody affair



lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die young man

lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die going to die

if you don't

lay down stay down

lay down lay down your gun young man

lay down stay down young boy

lay down your gun
