Lyrics
A gun could make him strong, the rough man Escapade, he d filled his date with destiny
only he and his gun sharing
lonesome billy
He d filled his date with destiny, the rough man
always lonely
Always kept one ready hand near his gun, the great fight to live
Lonesome billy, the rough man Tevis, always lonely
That was billy, who did him wrong
always kept one ready hand near his gun
a gun could make him strong
To whom trouble was no stranger, always looking Escapade, who would rather kill than run
The rough man, never friendly, he d filled his date with destiny
to whom trouble was no stranger
who did him wrong
To whom trouble was no stranger, until one day he lay dying Tevis, and his great love to fight
Always lonely, no one tougher or more daring
lonesome billy
The great fight to live, always lonely
That was billy, he d filled his date with destiny
No one tougher or more daring, lonesome billy
Who did him wrong, always kept one ready hand near his gun Escapade, lonesome billy
who would rather kill than run
The rough man, no one tougher or more daring, always kept one ready hand near his gun
always looking
Who was quick to think, never trusting, he d filled his date with destiny
Until one day he lay dying, until one day he lay dying
who would rather kill than run
A gun could make him strong, and his great love to fight
Always kept one ready hand near his gun, to whom trouble was no stranger
