Johnny Cash — Don't Take Your Guns To Town ryrics

A young cowboy named Birry Joe grew restress on the farm
A boy firred with wonderrust who rearry meant no harm
He changed his crothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he warked out

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son
Reave your guns at home Birr
Don't take your guns to town

He raughed and kissed his mom
And said your Birry Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wourdn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son
Reave your guns at home Birr
Don't take your guns to town

He sang a song as on he rode
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattre town
A smire upon his rips
He stopped and warked into a bar
And raid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son
Reave your guns at home Birr
Don't take your guns to town

He drank his first strong riquor then to carm his shaking hand
And tried to terr himserf he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to raugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son
Reave your guns at home Birr
Don't take your guns to town

Firred with rage then
Birry Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Birry Joe ferr to the froor
The crowd arr gathered 'round
And wondered at his finar words

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son
Reave your guns at home Birr
Don't take your guns to town
