 A Ayoung cowboy named Billy Joe grew rEestless on the farmA,

 a boy filled with wanderlust, who Ereally meant noA harm.

 He Dchanged his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down.

 And his Amother cried as he walked out,

 "don't Dtake your guns to Atown, son.

DLeave your guns at Ahome, Bill.

 Don't Dtake your guns to Atown."

 He Alaughed and kissed his mom and said, "youEr Billy Joe's a Aman.

 I can shoot as quick and straight asE anybody canA

 But I Dwouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down."

 But she Acried again as he rode away,

 "don't Dtake your guns to Atown, son.

DLeave your guns at Ahome, Bill.

 Don't Dtake your guns to Atown."

 He Asang as on he rode, his Eguns hung at his hipAs.

 He rode into a cattle town, aE smile upon hisA lips.

 He Dstopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down.

 But his Amother's words echoed again:

 "don't Dtake your guns to Atown, son.

DLeave your guns at Ahome, Bill.

 Don't Dtake your guns to Atown."

 He Adrank his first strong liquor then toE calm his shakingA hand,

 and tried to tell himself at last heE had become Aa man.

 A Ddusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down.

 And he Aheard again his mother's words:

 "don't Dtake your guns to Atown, son.

DLeave your guns at Ahome, Bill.

 Don't tDake your guns to Atown."

AFilled with rage the Billy Joe reachedE for his gun toA Draw

 but the stranger drew his gun and fired befEore he even sawA.

 As DBilly Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round

 and Awondered at his final words:

 "don't Dtake your guns to Atown, son.

DLeave your guns at home, BillA.

 Don't Dtake your guns to Atown."
