Don't Take Your Guns To Town
Johnny R. Cash
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He sang a song as on he rode
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town
A smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar
And laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself he had at last he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
Filled with rage then
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round
And wondered at his final words
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
Un joven vaquero llamado Billy Joe se volvió inquieto en la granja

He changed his clothes and shined his boots
Cambió su ropa y lustró sus botas
And combed his dark hair down
Y peinó su oscuro cabello
And his mother cried as he walked out
Y su madre lloró cuando él salió
Don't take your guns to town son
No lleves tus armas al pueblo, hijo
Leave your guns at home Bill
Deja tus armas en casa, Bill
Don't take your guns to town
No lleves tus armas al pueblo
He laughed and kissed his mom
Él rió y besó a su madre
And said your Billy Joe's a man
Y dijo que tu Billy Joe es un hombre
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
Puedo disparar tan rápido y recto como cualquiera
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
Pero no dispararía sin motivo
I'd gun nobody down
No derribaría a nadie
But she cried again as he rode away
Pero ella lloró de nuevo cuando él se fue
Don't take your guns to town son
No lleves tus armas al pueblo, hijo
Leave your guns at home Bill
Deja tus armas en casa, Bill

Entonces bebió su primer licor fuerte para calmar su mano temblorosa
And tried to tell himself he had at last he had become a man
Y trató de decirse a sí mismo que al fin se había convertido en un hombre
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
Un polvoriento vaquero a su lado comenzó a burlarse de él
And he heard again his mothers words
Y volvió a escuchar las palabras de su madre
Don't take your guns to town son
No lleves tus armas al pueblo, hijo
