Who's gonna give a job to old Slim Carter?
Who's gonna give a man a place to stay?
Who do you know that needs an old, tired-out rodeo man?
Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand?
Who needs a gun hand?
I heard he was born somewhere in South Dakota
His mama ran off with an Indian agent
They say they hung his daddy for selling bad whiskey to the Blackfeet
So at ten years old, he hit the road and kept on moving
So who's gonna give a job to old Slim Carter?
Who's gonna give a man a place to stay?
Who do you know that needs an old, tired-out rodeo man?
Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand?
Who needs a gun hand?
He finally ended up in Hollywood, California
He hocked the gold buckle that he worked so hard for
Landed a job as a stuntman for America's favorite cowboy
Until the stage had a wreck, he broke his neck
And it was all over
So who's gonna give a job to old Slim Carter?
Who's gonna give a man a place to stay?
Who do you know that needs an old, tired-out rodeo man?
Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand?
Who needs a gun hand?
Who needs a gun hand?
Who needs a gun hand?
