Roy Orbison - Blackie Dalton - Текст песни

Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter 
They say that he was the fastest gun alive 
Before you could draw your gun from the holster 
You would surely die 

Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter 
He killed three men in abilone and four in Wichita 
He wounded one in Kansas City 
Let him live out of pity 
He was tired of killing them all 

Then one night in a brawl 
His brother John got killed in Wichita 
Defending his brother's name 
The Blackie Dalton fame had brought his brother shame 

He got word in Tucson about his brother John 
They heard him say as he left that day 
I've got to hunt him down 
Then I'll throw my gun away 

Lonely night on the trail 
He'd listen to the coyotes wail 
And sympathise with the cry 
For one more man must die 

Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter 
The fastest gun alive is what they say 
He caught that man shot him down 
Turned and walked away 
Yes, he threw his gun away 

Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter 
But he turned his back on the life that he had led 
A man remembered from Kansas city 
Didn't have any pity 
He shot Blackie dead 
Yes he shot Blackie dead 

Lonely nights on the trail 
The cowboys tell a different tale 
Blackie didn't really die 
No, Blackie didn't really die 

Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter 
The fastest gun alive is what they said 
He changed his name and in his grave 
The Kansas man instead 
With this marker at his head 
Blackie Dalton was a gun fighter
