The Long Black Rifle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come closer, my love, and I'll tell you a tale
It'll make you cold, it'll turn you pale
It's a tale of a man's never ending love
And the long black rifle

[Chorus]
He wed a woman sworn to another
And, in a rage, the other man
Shot him down with a long black rifle
Shot him down, and away he ran

[Verse 2]
Now a prairie man loved a city maid
Was the love he took worth the price he paid
When a man ends up at the smoking end
Of a long black rifle?

[Chorus]
He wed a woman sworn to another
And, in a rage, the other man
Shot him down with a long black rifle
Shot him down, and away hе ran

[Verse 3]
Now his dyin' words, I repeat to you
You can nevеr kill love when your love is true
It lives when only the rust is left
Of the long black rifle

[Chorus]
He wed a woman sworn to another
And, in a rage, the other man
Shot him down with a long black rifle
Shot him down, and away he ran

[Outro]
I've loved playing...
