It’s High noon in a tumble **** town
And everyone’s running for cover,
Shops are turning their open signs around
The saloons piano player is now frozen with fright
All is quiet like a cold winter’s night.
Back to back ten paces forward
Counting in your head the jingles in the others spurs
Turn and draw
Be quick or be dead
Shots ring out like thunder
One grazed the other not so lucky
Town’s people wrap you up like a caterpillar in its cocoon
Slumped is your body over the back of the horse
Now is trotting you to your resting place.
The piano man is now unfrozen.

And everyone’s running for cover,

All is quiet like a cold winter’s night.

Counting in your head the jingles in the others spurs

Be quick or be dead

Slumped is your body over the back of the horse
Now is trotting you to your resting place.
The piano man is now unfrozen.
