1
He lay face down in the desert sand
2
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
3
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
4
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
5
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
6
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
7
(Ringo, Ringo)
8
I nursed him till the danger passed
9
The days went by, he mended fast
10
Then from dawn till setting sun
11
He practiced with that deadly gun
12
And hour on hour I watched in awe
13
No human being could match the draw of Ringo
14
(Ringo, Ringo)
15
One day we rode the mountain crest
16
And I went east and he went west
17
I took to law and wore a star
18
While he spread terror near and far
19
With lead and blood he gained such fame
20
All through the West they feared the name of Ringo
21
(Ringo, Ringo)
22
I knew someday I'd face the test
23
Which one of us would be the best
24
And sure enough the word came down
25
That he was holed up in the town
26
I left the posse out in the street
27
And I went in alone to meet Ringo
28
(Ringo, Ringo)
29
They said my speed was next to none
30
But my lightning draw had just begun
31
When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
32
The gun went flying from my fist
33
And I was looking down the bore
34
Of the deadly .44 of Ringo
35
(Ringo, Ringo)
36
They say that was the only time
37
That anyone had seen him smile
38
He slowly lowered his gun and then
39
He said to me "We're even, friend"
40
And so at last I understood
41
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
42
(Ringo, Ringo)
43
I blocked the path of his retreat
44
He turned and stepped into the street
45
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
46
A moment later, he lay dead
47
The town began to shout and cheer
48
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
49
(Ringo, Ringo)
50
The story spread throughout the land
51
That I had beaten Ringo's hand
52
And it was just the years, they say
53
That made me put my guns away
54
But on his grave they can't explain
55
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
56
(Ringo, Ringo)
57
(Ringo, Ringo)
