And another lyric request:

Gunslinger was a TV western, starring Tony Young and Preston Foster on CBS in 1961.

The theme was Gunslinger sung by Frankie Laine, of Rawhide fame. The music was by Dimitri Tiomkine, with lyrics by Ned Washington.

There is a Previous Gunslinger Thread is the song listed there the correct one?

Anyone remember it and can get me the lyrics? Thanks in advance.

Gunslinger



    Am             F    E    Am             F    E    Am            F    E Am

    Gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger ride away.



Am                                  Dm             Am

Gunslinger, gunslinger, where do you ride,

    F             Dm          E

what do you fight for today?

          Am               Dm               G         Am

When folks need a hand, you're on their side,

F             E       Am

gunslinger ride away.



            E                                    Am

1. You let someone else be the first one to draw,

    F                                 E

    on your speed you depend.

                           Am                      Dm          F    Am

    And there are times when your gun's the only law,

      F             Dm      E

    fighting to help a friend.

                        Am          Dm          F            E

    Gunslinger, will you return, or meet your end,

    Am             F    E   Am             F    E    Am            F    E Am

    gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger ride away.



                                  E                                    Am

2. + REFRAIN    It's not that you fight for the love of a fight,

      F                                       E

    you have cause when you do.

                        Am          Dm          F       Am

    But don't forget in the dark and lonely night,

      F             Dm         E                                    

    somebody waits for you.                                 

                        Am                   Dm          F                E

    Gunslinger, don't make her wait the whole night through,

    Am             F    E   Am             F    E   Am          Dm-E   Am

    gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger, ride on, gunslinger ride away.



(capo 5th)

Anyone ever heard the satiric version that the Limelighters recorded? The gunslinger in this version had a tough upbringing.."When you were a child, did the Cheyenne and Sioux, refuse to play nicely with you?" and similar stuff

"Did you come from a broken - home on the range? Gunslinger!"
Yes, Cheena, I do remember. I still have the old vinyl LP.
