Oh, Mr. Crest, Mr. Crest

You know, sometimes she gets unruly
An she act like she just don't wanna do
Sometimes she gets unruly

But I'll get my 22-20
I'll cut that woman half in two
Oh, your.38 Special

But my 22-20

Ah-or, your .44-40

Your .44-40
Buddy, it'll do very well
But my .22-20
I declare you, it's a-burnin' hell

Lord, on I measure my gun
An it's just a-long as my right arm
I measured my gun
An it's just as long as my right -
I'm gon' raise me some sand
And back down the road, I declare.
