[Verse 1]
I was Gheaded back home on the Merland CRoad
With my Ghead in the clouds one Cnight
Taking each step with the Gbeat of my heart
BmGuided by the pale moonlEmight
I was Gwhistling along with the loons on the Clake
And Gthinking ‘bout making my Cplan
Next thing you know, I’m sGuckin’ on the knuckles
Of a sAmwindling highwayGman
[Chorus]
Well I’ll Ctake my rifle, Gtake my pistol
CI’ll take what I caGn
BmNo, I’ll neEmver walk the road to GCuysboroGugh aDlone aGgain

[Verse 2]
He had a GColt 45 a-swingin’ on his Chip
GAnd a blackjack in his Chand
He had a bucktooth grin, aG great big chin
BmA limp and a silk armbaEmnd
He said, “GFella don’t you know there’s trouble in the Cwoods
and the Gtrouble in the woods is CI?
Gimmie your gold, gGimmie your liquor.
I’ll tAmhink about letting you Gby.”
[Chorus]
Well I’ll Ctake my rifle, Gtake my pistol
CI’ll take what I caGn
BmNo, I’ll neEmver walk the road to GCuysboroGugh aDlone aGgain

[Verse 3]
GWell I hit him with the left and the right, aClright
GWith fists like cannonCballs
He turned on a dime and he rGan with a shriek
That eBmchoed off the Intervale wEmalls
I ain’Gt proud of what I did, but I did what I Cdid
‘cauGse I couldn’t miss my chancCe
to take Hopey for a spin on the sGawdust floor
at FavAmaro’s wedding dancGe
[Chorus]
Well I’ll Ctake my rifle, Gtake my pistol
