His name was Trigger Luke and he had the fastest draw

He'd killed three sheriffs, he lived by his own law

One day after game of cards and the whisky poured hot

A woman waited for trigger upstairs in a cot

He and the bartender her price

But tempers began to fly

Another claimed an earlier payment

And he was shot down on the pavement

Not dead, but never to be a man again

If what I'm saying you can understand

And Trigger quietly walked away

And Trigger quietly walked away

1-2-3-4

He stayed with the woman for three days

He left town and no one saw him months on end

Rumors filtered in that he's been changed

I heard he crossed paths with a travelin preacher

Trigger drew his gun but the man had reached him

I heard he lay down his gun

Smashed his bottle on the ground

I heard he cried that day

I can't believe what I've heard said

He won't ever touch another woman

And he was beaten by a man

And he's coming back to town

And 5 men want to gun him down

1-2-3-4

I woke up late to see exactly what had passed

I saw Luke lying dead of a shotgun blast

I heard Luke rode in at the crack of dawn

As enemies confronted him with their guns drawn

They said they wanted a fight

To pay him back for their lost rights

Luke just asked to forgive him

He said he had a new life to give them

"Long ago I was lost"

His next words were drowned by the shots

Someone heard his last breaths

He said "Lord forgive them"
