Peculiar Guy

Lyrics

One night in a card game I lucked at a peculiar run
 I won a good team a woman called Red and a gun
 I won a valley won a mountain so high
 But a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy
 I worked with my team and I soon grew as rich as the land
 The woman called Red learned to love me as I loved the land
 My valley turned green my mountain smiled down from the sky
 But a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy
 One morning the lion came down from his kingdom I owned
 He killed the woman called Red and he left me alone
 My valley turned brown my mountain didn't seem so high
 Cause a lion lured my mountain and a lion is a peculiar guy
 I climbed up my mountain and burried the woman called Red
 I emptied my gun in the lion until he laid dead
 I left my valley I left my mountain so high
 I can't live with mem'ries cause I'm a peculiar guy

 (Trouble is a little and it's lonesome you won't find it on any map
 But you can take three steps in any direction and you're there
 It's a place to be born and it's a place to live and it's a place to die and be forgotten
 It's a town called Trouble and Trouble is a lonesome town)
