Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun

[00:01.21]Ballad of a Well-Known Gun - Elton John
[00:02.54]Lyrics by:Bernard John Taupin/Reginald Kenneth Dwight
[00:03.90]Composed by:Bernard John Taupin/Reginald Kenneth Dwight
[00:18.43]I pulled out my stage coach times
[00:21.58]And I read the latest news
[00:25.85]I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
[00:28.60]And of course I saw they knew
[00:34.55]The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
[00:37.97]And asked me for my name
[00:42.08]I stuttered out my answer
[00:45.28]And hung my head in shame
[00:53.95]Now they've found me
[00:57.21]At last they've found me
[01:00.89]It's hard to run
[01:04.26]From a starving family
[01:08.17]Now they've found me
[01:11.78]Well I won't run
[01:15.47]I'm tired of hearing
[01:20.10]There goes a well-known gun
[01:30.09]Now I've seen this chain gang
[01:32.94]Lord I say let me see my priest
[01:37.62]I couldn't have faced your desert sand
[01:40.63]Old burning brown backed beast
[01:46.28]The poor house they hit me for my kin
[01:49.82]And claimed my crumbling walls
[01:53.56]Now I know how Reno felt
[01:57.14]When he ran from the law
[02:05.55]Now they've found me
[02:08.85]At last they've found me
[02:12.55]It's hard to run
[02:15.98]From a starving family
[02:19.83]Now they've found me
[02:23.44]Well I won't run
[02:27.15]I'm tired of hearing
[02:31.81]There goes a well-known gun
[03:13.55]Now they've found me
[03:15.82]Lord I say at last they've found me
[03:20.58]It's hard to run
[03:23.94]From a starving family
[03:26.96]Lord I say now they've found me
[03:31.26]Well I won't run
[03:35.04]I'm tired of hearing
[03:38.96]'Cause and there goes a well-known gun
[03:44.90]That gun
[03:47.58]Lord I say now they've found me
[03:52.11]At last they've found me
[03:55.81]It's hard to run
[03:59.20]From a starving family
[04:03.05]Now they've found me
[04:06.68]I won't run
[04:10.31]I'm tired of hearing
[04:14.88]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
'Cause and there goes a well-known gun
That 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
