A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farmA boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harmHe changed his clothes and shined his bootsAnd combed his dark hair downAnd his mother cried as he walked out"Don't take your guns to town, sonLeave your guns at home, BillDon't take your guns to town"He laughed and kissed his mom and said, "Your Billy Joe's a manI can shoot as quick and straight as anybody canBut I wouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down"And she cried again as he rode away"Don't take your guns to town, sonLeave your guns at home, BillDon't take your guns to town"He sang a song as on, he rode, his guns hung at his hipsHe rode into a cattle town, a smile upon his lipsHe stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money downAnd his mother's words echoed again"Don't take your guns to town, sonLeave your guns at home, BillDon't take your guns to town"He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking handAnd tried to tell himself at last he had become a manA dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him downAnd his mother's words echoed again"Don't take your guns to town, sonLeave your guns at home, BillDon't take your guns to town"Filled with rage, then Billy Joe reached for his gun to drawBut the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even sawAs Billy Joe fell to the floor, the crowd all gathered 'roundAnd wondered at his final words"Don't take your guns to town, sonLeave your guns at home, BillDon't take your guns to town"
