Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
There was a gun that won the West,
There was a man among the best,
The fastest gun or man alive,
A lightnin’ bolt when he drew that Colt .45
There was a land of sand and sun,
There was the law, there was the gun.
And side by side they still survive,
A lightnin’ bolt when he drew that Colt .45
He carried the message of law and of order
Into a wicked land,
With a Colt single action army revolver
Blazing from either hand.
There was the right, there was the wrong,
The gun was quick, the man was strong.
And peace was made when they’d arrive,
A lightnin’ bolt when he drew that Colt .45
Colt .45, Colt .45, Colt .45
