Meanwhile Back At The Ranch lyrics

There's a mean hombre comin' in on the train He's got a bullet in his belt marked with my name If I'm fast I'll walk away if I'm not I'll die Got no mother, no family, nobody's gonna cry So mother in heaven I may see you soon If I don't get shot to hell at high noon Meanwhile back at the ranch Loadin' my guns, I gotta take me a chance If he shoots me down at the old corral Won't you give my horse to my favorite gal Meanwhile back at the ranch Everybody's cleared the streets in town They've got wind of what's goin' down That old noon train's about to arrive On it's a man wanted dead or alive Lead's gonna fly, blood's gonna spill There'll be a new tombstone up on boothill Meanwhile back at the ranch Loadin' my guns, I gotta take me a chance If he shoots me down at the old corral Won't you give my horse to my favorite gal Meanwhile back at the ranch Shoot 'em up! Meanwhile back at the ranch Loadin' my guns, I gotta take me a chance If he shoots me down at the old corral Won't you give my horse to my favorite gal Meanwhile back at the ranch There he is at the end of the street Black hat on his head, black boots on his feet Both like to turn tail neither one will There's gonna be a showdown shootin' to kill So I look that bastard right in the eye That's all for you, bang-bang, bye-bye! Meanwhile back at the ranch Loadin' my guns, I gotta take me a chance If he shoots me down at the old corral Won't you give my horse to my favorite gal Meanwhile back at the ranch Meanwhile . . . Back at the ranch Loadin' my guns Takin' a chance Back at the ranch
