I'm going to get me a brand new [shiny] pistol : with a long shiny barrel I'm going to ramble this town over : until I find my girl I'm going to go to the station : and try to find her there And if the Lord has not got her : she's in this world somewhere She left me with a head full of trouble : and a head full of misery And now she's got me crying : baby please come back home to me My mother told me : don't you weep don't you moan Because son there'll be women here : when you dead and gone When I get through rambling : and looking this whole world through I won't be dead with trouble : you know I died to *lose*
