          I was known as Blackie's gunman, the best of gunman in the land
        G                                                                 D                    D7                                                         G  
          I could shoot the ace of diamonds with a draw from either hand
             G                                                      D              D7                                                              G  
          With the dice I had no equal, some of them are with us now,
             G                                                            D                 D7                                                              G  
          most of them are sadly sleeping 'neath the weeping willow bough.
             G                                                                    D                 D7                                                                              G  
          Many a cowboy's game I've played in, left that night with all their gold,
          G                                            D              D7                                              G  
          as a sport I was broken, as a sport I let it go.
          G                                                                    D                 D7                                                                 G  
          I once loved a girl named Nellie, how we loved no tongue can tell,
          G                                                         D                    D7                                                            G  
          but I know I'll never meet her, oh t’was hard to say farewell.
                        G                                                                         D              D7                                                         G  
          Her eyes were like the deep blue water, and her hair was golden curls,
                     G                                                                         D            D7                                                                            G  
          and her cheeks were crimson velvet and her teeth were snow white pearls.
                  G                                                    D                 D7                                                         G  
          Together we lived in a cottage, and our life it was a dream,
             G                                                                    D                      D7                                                            G  
          and the angels they watched o'er us, made our life one happy dream.
