Testo Black Magic Gun - Tom Rush
Testo della canzone Black Magic Gun (Tom Rush), tratta dall'album Ladies Love Outlaws
I was on the south road, headed for Savannah
And I was tired of being poor, didn't suit me anymore
Had sung up all the songs you dream on tryin' to stay ahead
The dollar I had left to live on, I drank it down instead
And I run up on this stranger in the dirt
And he looked like some unfinished dirty work
He was barely breathin', wasn't nothin' left to say
I helped myself and took his gun, he was dyin' anyway
I was down in Texas, 'twas barely two months later
I had found myself a name, I had stumbled into fame
I shot a man from Louisiana with a stranger's gun
He never even cleared his leather 'fore the shot had run
And I never wore a six-gun in my life
So strange to me how I could take a life
Now they're tellin' me I'm faster than any livin' man
It must've been black magic I was holdin' in my hand
If I take it off, they'll shoot me down, if I wear it, someone dies
The devil made that deadly thing, you know I do not lie
I don't believe in fortune, but I do believe in sin
It must've been black magic in that gun that done him in
I was ridin' across the border just outside Durango
When a bullet split the night off behind me to my right
I never saw the coward's face, I never got no glance
I tried to get a shot off, I never had a chance
And the pain was like no pain I'd ever known
So I was satisfied I'd die alone
I was barely breathin', wasn't nothin' to be said
He helped himself and stole my gun and left me there for dead
