Well I Declare - If It Aint the Bounty Man
Well I Declare – If It Aint The Bounty Man
Well I declare! When I was young and free
I slung 2 guns from about my waste and charged a fee
And shot anything in sight that moved
As long as I got paid of course
I would shoot calories if there was a dollar in it
And lose weight in the process upon my horse
Now I’m 84 and there aint no shootin anymore
But when I was young if you heard me say
“Well I declare” the word “war” was sure to follow in that statement
“Well I declare war on everyone in this here nation!”
And yell, “What in tar nation!” at the cowpokes in the saloon
Yes sir. They’d all run and hide like rabbits and baboons
Well I declare. I can’t remember anything anymore
Who am I kidding?
I was never young. I was born 84 and ready for a war
