That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun And the pistol rode west with the sun Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever Know that death is the way of the gun They fought side by side, undefeated each time Speed of their guns were the same From dark city Kansas to wild Arizona All outlaws alike knew their name A shotgun, a pistol, known the world over as The two biggest guns in the west But the whole town of Tombstone knew the friendship was shakin' And they wondered which one was the best Only a shootout could settle the question That lay heavy on everyone's mind Whiskey and loose talk and their love for a woman Made the shoot out a matter of time That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun And the pistol rode west with the sun Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever Know that death is the way of the gun The day of the doom had been set by the town That lived up to it's blood-thirsty name Some said the pistol, some said the shotgun Some said the town was to blame But some outlaws named Clanton and the O.K Corral Changed history and canceled the game When the shootout was over and the outlaws lay dyin' Old Tombstone the silent was shamed That mornin' a lady locked arms with a shotgun And a pistol rode west with the sun Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever Know death is the way of the gun
