Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me what have I got?

I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger 
Than a pinpoint, I'm number one 
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar 
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal
Yes, I shine like the mornin' sun
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No you can't get a man with a gun

If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder, they'd holler, "Bloody murder"
And you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

I'm cool, brave, and darin' to see a lion glarin'
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

The gals with umbrellas, ooh, are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazin' sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun,
No you can't get a man with a gun

A Tom, Dick or Harry will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he cant build your houses with buckshot in his trousers
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin' mamas
For a man maybe hot but he's not ready shot
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
