《Silver Target》歌词

[00:00:00] Silver Target - Sheb Wooley

[00:00:08] Towns sprung up across the plain

[00:00:10] But soon the desperados came

[00:00:13] And gunshot echoed in the streets

[00:00:22] In a western town that mushroamed

[00:00:24] Along the great frontier

[00:00:27] Was mostly honest folks that came to stay

[00:00:32] But law was slow in comin'

[00:00:34] And the bad men soon appereared

[00:00:37] Flockin' in like vultures to the prey

[00:00:42] Those that tried to stop

[00:00:44] Them in their pillage of the town

[00:00:47] Bit the dust of Main Street one by one

[00:00:52] Till no one had the courage to step

[00:00:55] Forward fom the rest

[00:00:57] And volunteer to wear a silver target on his chest

[00:01:03] The town sent for a Ranger to stop the lawless breed

[00:01:08] Men who bragged of killin's they had done

[00:01:14] The bad men heard them threaten

[00:01:16] But they laughed and paid no heed

[00:01:19] For who would dare to face their deadly guns

[00:01:23] It only made them bolder

[00:01:26] And the terror grew and grew

[00:01:29] Till one day the Ranger reached the town

[00:01:34] The bad men saw him comin'

[00:01:36] And they spoke in vulgar jest

[00:01:38] One of the quiet man

[00:01:40] Who wore a silver target on his chest

[00:01:47] In the noonday sun a panic

[00:01:50] Had hit the dusty street

[00:01:52] But from every window they all saw

[00:01:58] The showdown soon was comin'

[00:02:00] And the odds he had to beat

[00:02:02] With four to one against the Ranger's draw

[00:02:07] Then sudden death cut loose

[00:02:09] And when the smoke had cleared away

[00:02:12] The outlaws lay there dyin' in the street

[00:02:17] But a scarlet stain

[00:02:19] Was spreadin' in the center of the West

[00:02:22] Of the quiet man

[00:02:24] Who wore a silver target on his chest

[00:02:29] His name is not recorded in the book of history

[00:02:34] But on a marble stone you still can read

[00:02:39] Here lies a man who figured in the winnin' of the West

[00:02:44] A quiet man who wore a silver target on his chest
