Lay Down Your Gun lyrics

Drifting in on a dust cloud parched and dirty from the ride He tied his horse to a fence post and strapped a gun to his side Across the square walked a lady Indian girl dressed in black As she walked by she smiled and said as she walked by she said Lay down your gun young boy lay down your gun young man Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die In her eye he saw a tear winter rose she gave to him On his cheek she placed a kiss and prayed to set him free Spotted the lady standing waiting there With outstretched hands to stop that bloody bloody affair Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die young man Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die going to die If you don't Lay down stay down Lay down lay down your gun young man Lay down stay down young boy Lay down your gun
