Lyrics
WINCHESTER 73
Deputy why don't you leave that cowboy alone?
He ain't doin nothin, he's a long way from home.
Can't you see that Winchester by his saddle horn?
If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone.
Deputy why don't you let that cowboy ride on?
He won't even slow down unless you draw your gun.
Can't you see them notches, they're not carved there for fun.
If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone.
You want that Winchester I know that you do!
But one more notch is all you'll be if you see it through!
Deputy why don't you let that cowboy ride on?
He ain't doin nothin he just wants to ride on!
Don't you know that Winchester's one hell of a gun!
If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone!
