 V1:
 It  had rained for 3 days straight, But the sun was beginning to shine
 Two  riders were approachin’, But they were no friends of mine.
 Called  out for Hanna
 And I kept  here close to my side
 Whistled  for old Thunder
 And my horse  he was ready to ride
 (1 thru 3 ascend, 4 and 5 descend)
 I give  you everything I had  babe, Ain’t that kindness
 I give  you the good with the bad  babe, Ain’t that kindness
 Don’t cha know I give  you my love when you're sad  babe, Ain’t that kindness
 Hmmm ya know  a man ain’t nothing  without his gun
 Ya know  a man ain’t nothing  without his gun
 V2:
 Took to the road 6 nights and days, Only then did we think it was safe.
 Heard the sound of 2 men approachin’, But they did not hesitate.
 Hanna she was cryin’, But she wouldn’t let go of my leg.
 Thunder he was tired, and a thinkin’ of a better day.
 V3:
 Two shots fired and two figures fell, There was blood flowin’ over the ground.
 Two men dead in the noon day sun, And they never ever made a sound.
 Hanna she never forgave me, And I think I know the reason why.
 When I called out for Thunder, The horse he up and died.
 Then continue to play verses music fading out.
 Voice over verse music (spoken) "Aw, shoot me, shoot me."
