Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come closer, my love, and I'll tell you a tale It'll make you cold, it'll turn you pale It's a tale of a man's never ending love And the long black rifle [Chorus] He wed a woman sworn to another And, in a rage, the other man Shot him down with a long black rifle Shot him down, and away he ran [Verse 2] Now a prairie man loved a city maid Was the love he took worth the price he paid When a man ends up at the smoking end Of a long black rifle? [Chorus] He wed a woman sworn to another And, in a rage, the other man Shot him down with a long black rifle Shot him down, and away hе ran [Verse 3] Now his dyin' words, I repeat to you You can nevеr kill love when your love is true It lives when only the rust is left Of the long black rifle [Chorus] He wed a woman sworn to another And, in a rage, the other man Shot him down with a long black rifle Shot him down, and away he ran [Outro] I've loved playing...
