We need heroes to make sense and do more than just defense Every year we fall farther behind as the blind are shooting the kind It is time to open your eyes and end the lies that deny. johnny got a gun https://www.ranker.com/list/best-songs-about-guns/reference |

10 Feb 23 - 07:28 AM (#4164762) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: folk songs about guns From: Lighter That's from the verse of George M. Cohan's "Over There!" (1917). There was a minstrel song of the 1880s called "Johnny, get your gun," with lines like, "Moses wept and Abram cried, Johnny, get your gun, get your gun. Satan's coming, don't you hide. Johnny, get your gun, get your gun. These words were sometimes sung to the tune of "Hey, Betty Martin": "Johnny, get your gun and your sword and your pistol, Johnny, get your gun, and come with me!" |

10 Feb 23 - 04:10 PM (#4164803) Subject: Don't Take Your Gun to School From: GUEST,F the Ineffable Don't Take Your Gun to School A parody of “Don't Take Your Guns To Town” © Johnny R. Cash A country boy named Billy Joe Grew restless on the farm. A good boy filled with bad ideas Who really meant no harm. He wrote to all his Facebook friends And set off on his mule His mother cried as he rode out "Don't take your gun to school, son Leave your gun at home, Bill Don't take your gun to school.” He checked his mail as on he rode His gun hung by his side. He walked into the classroom With his blue eyes full of pride. He strode up to the teacher Who’d said he was a fool He clean forgot his mother's words "Don't take your gun to school, son Leave your gun at home, Bill Don't take your gun to school.” And in his rage young Billy Joe Reached for his gun to draw. Ms. Martin drew her gun and fired Before he even saw. As Billy Joe fell to the floor The students played it cool. They all ignored his final words "Don't take your gun to school, son Leave your gun at home, Bill Don't take your gun to school.” And now though fifty years have passed The laws have not been changed A boy can get a gun though he’s Unstable or deranged. He's still too young to know a gun Can’t make a jerk seem cool. “I told you so,” his Mama said, "Don't take your gun to school, son Leave your gun at home, Bill Don't take your gun to school.” |
