I'm going to get me a brand new [shiny] pistol : with a 
long shiny barrel
I'm going to ramble this town over : until I find my girl
I'm going to go to the station : and try to find her 
there
And if the Lord has not got her : she's in this world 
somewhere
She left me with a head full of trouble : and a head full 
of misery
And now she's got me crying : baby please come back home 
to me
My mother told me : don't you weep don't you moan
Because son there'll be women here : when you dead and 
gone
When I get through rambling : and looking this whole 
world through
I won't be dead with trouble : you know I died to *lose*
