Well I laid my cards down Poured all my money in Laughed and hollered boys Looks like I've won the hand again Another gambler started raging And then he cursed me for a cheek My coat revolver found its mark As we bolt up to our feet Shot him down, shot him down That is the end of the game I spurred the horse to racin' from town To make my way Sheriff was close behind, he was in no mood to play He caught me just past sunset, my horse was all broke down I fell as he closed in, I wasn't goin' back to town Shot him down, shot him down That is the end of the game I headed west towards the mountains To find a place where I could rest I came upon a friendly farmer Who asked if I could be his guest At night he drew his double barrel Said, "I'll have to turn you in" My coat revolver started speaking And it found its mark again Shot him down, shot him down That is the end of the game Shot him down, shot him down That is the end of the game
