Lyrics You Can't Get A Man With A Gun - Studio Cast Recording

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me, what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pinpoint, I'm number one
But my score with a feller is lower than a celler
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal
Yes, I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster when with a bronco buster
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No, you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
And you can't get a hug from a mug with a slug
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
I'm cool, brave, and darin' to see a lion glarin'
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellas are all about with fellers
In the rain or the blazin' sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No, you can't get a man with a gun
A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas for pistol-packin' mamas
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
