Song Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun
Artist Elton John
Album Tumbleweed Connection

Lyrics

Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John
I pulled out my Stage Coach Times
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame
Now they've found me
At last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
Well I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun
Now I've seen this chain gang
Lord I say let me see my priest
I couldn't have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt
When he ran from the law
Now they've found me
At last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
Well I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun
Now they've found me
Lord I say at last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family
Lord I say now they've found me
Well I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun
Lord I say now they've found me
At last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family
Now they've found me
I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun

I pulled out my Stage Coach Times
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame
Now they' ve found me
At last they' ve found me
It' s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they' ve found me
Well I won' t run
I' m tired of hearing
There goes a wellknown gun
Now I' ve seen this chain gang
Lord I say let me see my priest
I couldn' t have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt
When he ran from the law
Now they' ve found me
At last they' ve found me
It' s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they' ve found me
Well I won' t run
I' m tired of hearing
There goes a wellknown gun
Now they' ve found me
Lord I say at last they' ve found me
It' s hard to run
From a starving family
Lord I say now they' ve found me
Well I won' t run
I' m tired of hearing
There goes a wellknown gun
Lord I say now they' ve found me
At last they' ve found me
It' s hard to run
From a starving family
Now they' ve found me
I won' t run
I' m tired of hearing
There goes a wellknown gun
