Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say,
 That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
 I'd be am out in the cactus and I practice all day,
 And now tell me what have I got.
 I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
 Than a pen point, I'm number one.
 But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar-
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
 When I'm with a pistol
 I sparkle like a crystal,
 Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
 But I lose all my luster
 When with a Bronco Buster.
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
 With a gun, with a gun,
 No, you can't get a man with a gun.
 If I went to battle
 With someone's herd of cattle
 You'd have steak when the job was done.
 But if shot the herder,
 They'd holler "bloody murder"
 And you can't shoot a male
 In the tail like a quail
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
 I'm cool, brave and daring
 To see a lion glaring
 When I'm out with my Remington
 But a look from a mister
 Will raise a fever blister
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
 The gals with "umbrellars"
 Are always out with fellers
 In the rain or the blazing sun
 But a man never trifles
 With gals who carry rifles
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
 With a gun, with a gun,
 No, you can't get a man with a gun.
 A man's love is mighty
 It'll leave him buy a nightie
 For a gal who he thinks is fun.
 But they don't by pajamas
 For Pistol packin' mamas,
 And you can't get a hug
 From a mug with a slug,
 Oh you can't get a man with a gun
