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 cow- ard
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- ow
Did he shoot her with his com- promise
Like a heart at-tack he can par- alyse
Or did he hang her in a noose
On the telephone li- ine
Did he shoot her with a for- ty five
Did he leave his mark right between her eyes
Oh did he shoot that girl
That used to be mi- ine
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 cou- ple 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 my-self
chorus
Did he shoot her
Did he shoot her
