My kind of Christmas song
(Sung to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” First Christmas song I ever learned. Aww. That explains so much.)
Dead-Eye the Two-Gun Cowboy
Dead-Eye the Two-Gun Cowboy (cowboy)
Had a very shiny gun
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would surely turn and run
All of the other cowboys (cowboys)
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Dead-Eye (Dead-Eye)
join in any cowboy games (like poker!)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
“Dead-Eye with your guns so bright,
Won’t you shoot my wife tonight?”
Then how the cowboys loved him (loved him!)
As they shouted out with glee (yippee!):
“Dead-Eye the Two Gun Cowboy,
You’ll go down in infamy!”

I’ll get busy teaching the boys that one—they’ll love it; ironically, their Christmas play this winter was “Christmas at the OK Coral.” It’s perfect for Southern Ohio (Domestic Abuse Capital of the World). Next big hit—right up there with that Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer.
