A young cowboy was sat in the saloon
One Saturday night
looking his best
When an old man walked
into the bar
Who was once the
fastest gun in the West
The cowboy sidled up
to the old shootist
He bought him a two
fingered whiskey tot
And without looking at
him he asked
“Can you give me a tip to be a great shot?”
He said, “You're wearing your gun too high,
Tie the holster a
little lower down your thigh”
The kid adjusted his rig then drew his gun
And shot off the piano
player’s bow tie
Then he said, “now, where the hammer
Hits the leather, cut
a notch in your holster”
The kid adjusted his
rig then drew his gun
And shot the cuff link
off piano player
“That's great” said the kid “Got any more tips?”
The shootist said “now go and coat your gun
Thoroughly in axle
grease including the handle”
The kid went outside
returning with it done
“Will this make me a better shot?” he asked
“No” said the old gunman “but Ringo
Will shove that gun
right up your arse,
When he finishes
playing the piano”
