A Gun On My Side

I rode into town not looking for a fight If you draw your gun I will put you in my sight I'm looking for a place to lay my head If you try to hurt me I will shoot you dead I'm on the trail of a wanted man I'm taking him back to where it all began There he will be hanged by the end of a rope For his life is over there is no hope I am carrying a weapon a gun on my side I can shoot from my horse when I ride If I am forced to use it you bet that I will No man will stop me one shot, one kill Six shots in my gun and fast on the draw I'm a bounty hunter and he's the outlaw

Another good poem. Most poets here WOUKD be afraid to use the word GUN. Let alone use one.
