Kingston Trio (The). At Large. The Long Black Rifle. Zeneszám

(L. Coleman/N. Gimbel)

Come closer, my love, and you'll hear my 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.

A prairie man loved a city maid. Was the love he took worth the price he paid,
When a man ends up at the smoky end of a long black rifle?

[Chorus]

His dyin' words I repeat to you. "You can never kill love when love is true.
It lives when only the rust is left of the long black rifle.

[Chorus]

Shot him down and away he ran.
