Subject: Lyr Add: TWO-GUN HARRY FROM TUCUMCARI
Not the kind of thing anybody here probably wants to sing, but what the heck! Who knew there was yet another song about Tucumcari? I ran across this while looking for something else.
To play a complete mp3 file of this song, click the link near the bottom of this page.
TWO-GUN HARRY FROM TUCUMCARI As sung by Dorothy Shay
If you're ever travelin' west, I wish you would give my best To a guy whose name is Two-Gun Harry. When your train gets into town, You'll see him hangin' round In a station that they call Tucumcari.
CHORUS: Two-gun Harry From Tucumcari, Oh, I always loved him from the start; So I'm goin' back to marry Two-Gun Harry from Tucumcari, For he threw his lassoo round my heart.
When you hit the station yard, Just give him my regards. Won't you tell him please that he must wait thar, 'Cause I'm hittin' that ol' track And surely comin' back Even if I have to hop on a freight car. CHORUS
When he's standin' up, of course, You can tell he rides a horse Cause his legs is kind o' bent from the saddle; And you'd know him anywhere, 'Cause he has a certain air That he gets from bein' close to the cattle. CHORUS
