Dean Brody - Cattleman's Gun

  • He rode into town one dust storm,nSheepskin cloak across his back.nA preacher man with kind old eyes,nAnd a mystery for a past.nHe said he'd come to teach aboutnThe love of God,nBut he soon learned what they were missing therenWas justice and the law.nnThere was a cattleman who claimed his clannOwned all the land around.nAnd any brave fool who that might dispute,nHe was quick to snuff 'em out.nHe'd say, "Take my heednAnd you won't pay the price.n'Cause honor and a name ain't worth a damnnIf you don't have your life."nnHe'd say, "Ain't nobody faster than this cattle man's gun.nI'm a rattlesnake on the trigger.nYour last stand'll be lyin' in the sand,nFallin' to the slam of my hammer."nnSo one man taught forgiveness,nWhile the other taught suffering.nThe preacher said deliverance,nCould be found out on their knees.nHe said, "I know that you want justicenAnd you want blood,nBut believe me when I say to you,nDon't try and be that man's judge.nn'Cause ain't nobody faster than that cattleman's gun,nHe's a rattlesnake on the trigger,nYour last stand'll be lyin' in the sand,nFallin' to the slam of his hammer."nnOne day a young farmer brought his sons to town for feed.nAnd he noticed that the streets were quiet, and he knew what that might mean.nThe smoke rose in the distance,nHis farm burned to the ground.nHe let the fury overtake him,nWhen Cattle Man came back to town.nnThose boys ran out from behind the crowd,nAnd watched their daddy die,nThe big man laughed and said, "Now look at that.nAnybody else wanna give it a try?"nWell, the church doors opened with that black cloak flowin' behind the preacher's fiery eyes.nHe said, "Your ticket to Hell is a comin' to you,nAnd I got a hollow-point to give you the ride."nnAnd the only thing faster than the cattle man's gun,nWas the preacher's handy finger,nHe pulled iron from his side and let that bullet fly,nBeat the rattlesnake to the hammer.nnWhile the preacher embraced forgiveness,nOh, they finally understood,nUnder that sheepskin cloak of his,nWas a history of blood.
