Joni Mitchell – The Long Black Rifle Lyrics

Artist: Joni Mitchell
Song: The Long Black Rifle

Come closer, my love
And I’ll tell you a tale
It’ll make you cold
It’ll turn you pale

It’s a tale of a man’s
Never ending love
And the long black rifle
He wed a woman

Sworn to another
And, in a rage
The other man
Shot him down

With a long black rifle
Shot him down
And away he ran
Now a prairie man

Loved a city maid
Was the love he took
Worth the price he paid
When a man ends up

At the smoking end
Of a long black rifle
He wed a woman
Sworn to another

And, in a rage
The other man
Shot him down
With a long black rifle

Shot him down
And away hе ran
Now his dyin’ words
I repeat to you

You can nevеr kill love
When your love is true
It lives when only
The rust is left

Of the long black rifle
He wed a woman
Sworn to another
And, in a rage

The other man
Shot him down
With a long black rifle
Shot him down

And away he ran
