Lyrics
Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger
With targets not much bigger
Than a pinpoint, I'm number one
But my score with a feller
Is lower than a celler
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal
Yes, I blaze like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster
When with a bronco buster
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder
They'd lock me up for murder
Oh, you can't shoot a male
In the tail like a quail
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
If I shot a rabbit
Some furrier would grab it
For a coat that would warm someone
But you can't shoot a lover
And use him for a cover
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellas
Are always out with fellas
In the rain or the blazin' sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
A Tom, Dick or Harry
Would build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can't build you houses
With buckshot in his trousers
For a man may be hot
But he's not when he's shot
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
