Dean Brody - Cattlemans gun

He rode ^Dminto town one dust storm sheepskin ^Amcloak across his back A ^Gpreacherman with kind old eyes and a ^Dmmystery for a past He said he'd ^Dmcome to teach about the love of ^AmGod But ^Ghe soon learned what they were missing there was ^Dmjustice and the law

There was a ^Dmcattleman who claimed his clan owned ^Amall the land around ^GAny brave fool that might dispute, he was ^Dmquick to snuff em out He'd say, &^Dmquot;Take my heed, and you won't pay^Am the price. Cause ^Ghonor and a name ain't worth a damn, if ^Dmyou don't have your life."

Cause ^Dmain't nobody faster than this ^Amcattleman's gun I'm a ^Grattlesnake on the ^Dmtrigger ^DmYour last stand will be ^Amlyin in the sand ^GFallen to the slam of my ^Dmhammer

So ^Dmone man taught forgiveness, while the ^Amother taught suffering ^GPreacher said deliverance could be ^Dmfound down on their knees He'd say, &^Dmquot;I know you want justice and you^Am want blood But be^Glieve me when I say to you, don't ^Dmtry and be that man's judge

Cause ^Dmain't nobody faster than that ^Amcattleman's gun He's a ^Grattlesnake on the ^Dmtrigger ^DmYour last stand will be ^Amlyin in the sand ^GFallen to the slam of his ^Dmhammer

^DmOne day a young farmer brought his ^Amsons to town for feed He ^Gnoticed that the streets were quiet and he ^Dmknew what that might mean ^DmSmoke rose from the distance, his farm ^Amburned to the ground He let the ^Gfury overtake him when ^Dmcattleman came back to town

His ^Dmboys ran out from behind the crowd and ^Amwatched their daddy die ^GBig man laughed and said, "Now look at that! Any^Dmbody else wanna give it a try?" The ^Dmchurch doors opened with that black cloak flowin behind ^Ampreacher's fiery eyes He said, "^GYour ticket to Hell's a comin to you And I got a ^Dmhollow point to give you the ride."

And the ^Dmonly thing faster than that ^Amcattleman's gun Was the ^Gpreacherman's hand and ^Dmfinger He pulled ^Dmiron fomr his side and let ^Amthat bullet fly And beat the ^Grattlesnake to the ^Dmhammer Why this ^Dmpreacher embraced for^Amgiveness, they ^Gfinally under^Dmstood ^DmUnder that sheepskin ^Amcloak of his, was a ^Ghistory of ^Dmblood
