Lyrics Don't Take Your Guns To Town - Early Mix, 1987 - Johnny Cash
A
young
cowboy
named
Billy
Joe
grew
restless
on
the
farm
A
boy
filled
with
wanderlust
who
really
meant
no
harm
He
changed
his
clothes
and
shined
his
boots
and
combed
his
dark
hair
down
And
his
mother
cried
as
he
walked
out
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town
He
laughed
and
kissed
his
mom
and
said,
"Your
Billy
Joe's
a
man"
I
can
shoot
as
quick
and
straight
as
anybody
can
But
I
wouldn't
shoot
without
a
cause,
I'd
gun
nobody
down"
But
she
cried
again
as
he
rode
away
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
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
cattle
town,
a
smile
upon
his
lips
He
stopped
and
walked
into
a
bar
and
laid
his
money
down
And
his
mother's
words
echoed
again
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town
He
drank
his
first
strong
liquor
then
to
calm
his
shaking
hand
And
tried
to
tell
himself
at
last
he
had
become
a
man
A
dusty
cowpoke
at
his
side
began
to
laugh
him
down
And
his
mothers
words
echoed
again
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town
Filled
with
rage
then
Billy
Joe
reached
for
his
gun
to
draw
But
the
stranger
drew
his
gun
and
fired
before
he
even
saw
As
Billy
Joe
fell
to
the
floor,
the
crowd
all
gathered
'round
And
wondered
at
his
final
words
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town
