Topic: Pistol Don

In the song writing thread, Jim Kenyon wrote a song about  girls from Texas. Years ago I wrote a song about a gunfighter who met his end in a Texas street. I called it "Pistol Don",  aka "Piss 'til  Dawn". (I never could pass up a good pun) It became one of my more popular campfire songs. My buddies John Victor (harmonica) and Jeff Hartley (bass, drums) helped on the recording.

Re: Pistol Don

OMG - I love it !   So funny and sad.
Great song - Love the bass line- kind of a mix of Marty Robbins, Bob Willis and Johhny Cash.
"Piss til dawn" as a result of his drinking all night !! - "The partly opened fly" ! smile smile
This song is so clever and witty. Well played sir,literally and figuratively!!LOL !!!
