Blackie's Gunman

I was known as Blackie's gunman
 The best two gunman in the land
 I could shoot the ace of diamonds
 With a draw from either hand
 With the dice I had no equal
 Some of them are with us now
 Most of them are sadly sleeping
 'Neath the weeping willow bough
 Many a cowboy's game I've played in
 Left that night with all their gold
 As a sport I was broken
 As a sport I let it go
 I once loved a girl named Nellie
 How we loved no tongue can tell
 But I know, I'll never meet her
 Oh, it was hard to say farewell
 Her eyes were like the deep blue water
 And her hair was golden curls
 And her cheeks were crimson velvet
 And her teeth were snow white pearls
 Together we lived in a cottage
 And our life, it was a dream
 And the angels they watched o'er us
 Made our life one happy dream
