Ringo - Lorne Greene

[00:21.43]Ringo - Lorne Greene
[00:27.97]He lay face down in the desert sand
[00:30.23]Clutching his six-gun in his hand
[00:32.35]Shot from behind
[00:33.13]I thought he was dead
[00:34.29]But under his heart was an ounce of lead
[00:36.21]But a spark still burned so I used my knife
[00:38.77]And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
[00:42.81]Ringo Ringo
[00:47.38]I nursed him till the danger passed
[00:49.45]The days went by
[00:50.54]He mended fast
[00:51.61]Then from dawn till setting sun
[00:53.67]He practiced with that deadly gun
[00:56.02]And hour on hour I watched in awe
[00:57.98]No human being could match the draw of Ringo
[01:02.29]Ringo Ringo
[01:09.08]One day we rode the mountain crest
[01:11.21]And I went east and he went west
[01:13.49]I took to law and wore a star
[01:15.45]While he spread terror near and far
[01:17.79]With lead and blood he gained such fame
[01:19.76]All through the West they feared the name of Ringo
[01:23.99]Ringo Ringo
[01:28.53]I knew someday I'd face the test
[01:30.72]Which one of us would be the best
[01:32.54]And sure enough the word came down
[01:35.009995]That he was holed up in the town
[01:37.34]I left the posse out in the street
[01:39.58]And I went in alone to meet Ringo
[01:43.45]Ringo Ringo
[01:50.17]They said my speed was next to none
[01:52.119995]But my lightning draw had just begun
[01:54.270004]When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
[01:56.57]The gun went flying from my fist
[01:58.9]And I was looking down the bore
[02:01.49]Of the deadly 44 of Ringo
[02:05.11]Ringo Ringo
[02:09.74]They say that was the only time
[02:11.92]That anyone had seen him smile
[02:14.02]He slowly lowered his gun and then
[02:16.23]He said to me We're even friend
[02:18.62]And so at last I understood
[02:20.64]That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
[02:24.65]Ringo Ringo
[02:31.43]I blocked the path of his retreat
[02:33.48]He turned and stepped into the street
[02:35.84]A dozen guns spit fire and lead
[02:39.53]A moment later he lay dead
[02:43.36]The town began to shout and cheer
[02:46.94]Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
[02:52.1]Ringo
[02:57.45999]The story spread throughout the land
[02:59.98]That I had beaten Ringo's hand
[03:02.84]And it was just the years they say
[03:04.69]That made me put my guns away
[03:08.21]But on his grave they can't explain
[03:10.85]The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
[03:18.70999]Ringo Ringo
[03:22.98]Ringo Ringo
