song about some good old fashioned homocide. these lyrics were written to be put with a fast picking bluegrass style and ended up fitting with a quite different style.
lyrics
-verse 1-
gimme a pistol fill it up with bullets, show me the trigger see if i pull it, aim it at my girl and her lover let em die like i found em holdin one another
-chorus-
gimme a pistol and get outta my way
-verse 2-
gimme a shovel and a patch of trees let my head hot from digging cool in the breeze, let the worms eat em someone's gotta feed em might as well be my girl tied up and bleeding
(-chorus-)
-verse 3-
gimme a pistol fill it up with bullets, show me the trigger see if i pull it, aim it at my girl and her lover let em die like i found em holdin one another
(-chorus-)
-verse 4-
gimme a lawyer pay him well, let em know the truth fuck it who's he gonna tell. let him pretend to befriend and defend me let him count my money while i'm in the penitentiary
(-chorus-)
