The Broken Ballad (by the gun) Bonanza

This song is from the Broken Ballad episode of Bonanza.
I really liked it and thought others might too

A rim job so wonderful, it gets it's own ballad.🙂

Robert made so many characters interesting. I liked his acting in everything and he had a wide array of roles. This is the only time I saw him sing and play guitar though. I just saw it on Bonanza 7/20/2020. I stopped what I was doing and watched closely. Did he play the guitar in this or was it dubbed and acted? I am pretty sure, well, it looks and sounds like he did actually sing it.

Phenomenal actor and a genuine person with intellectual ability. They don’t make men like them anymore

Do you have the lyrics?

[@johnhazelton6596]

When a man takes a gun in his hand
He becomes like a scourge on the land
Whether wrong
Whether right
He knows that he must fight
Soon will die
Everyone
By the gun.
When he's young, he's as cool as a stream
And he draws like a man, in a dream
Face him down if you dare
With a curse or a prayer
You will die
Mother, son, by
The gun
Though his name strikes fear where he goes
He's a stranger that nobody knows
Call him out
Make your play
Here it comes
Judgment day
As you die
And the sun
By the gun
When a man takes a gun in his hand
He becomes like a scourge on the land
For they end as they must
