Did He Shoot Her?

Sling your hook in with him baby

He's a real sharp-shooter now

If he's out there hiding in the tall grass

Tell him I said he was a coward

This ain't any old western honey

It's the twentieth century now

But if he thinks he's some kind of tough cowboy

And he's hurt her then I want to know how

Did he shoot her with his compromise

Like a heart attack he can paralyse

Or did he hang her in a noose

On the telephone line

Did he shoot her with a fourty five

Did he leave his mark right between her eyes

Oh did he shoot that girl

That used to be mine

Tell him I'm ready any time he chooses

The pay-off for the things, for the things he's done

He ain't messing with no two-bit bandit

Armed with a couple of guns

If he wants to see it as a two reel movie

He's living in the head of someone else

But better take him down and dust him honey

I want to hear the truth for myself

Did he shoot her with his compromise

Like a heart attack he can paralyse

Or did he hang her in a noose

On the telephone line

Did he shoot her with a fourty five

Did he leave his mark right between her eyes

Oh did he shoot that girl

That used to be mine

Did he shoot her with his compromise

Like a heart attack he can paralyse

Or did he hang her in a noose

On the telephone line

Did he shoot her with a fourty five

Did he leave his mark right between her eyes

Oh did he shoot that girl

That used to be mine

Did he shoot her, did he shoot her?
