Where'd you come from?
Mississippi
Very wealthy.
Where are they now?
The convent of The Sacred Heart!
When'd you get here?
Ninteteen-Twenty
Don't remember
Then what happened?
I met Amos
And he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
Interlude
"Oh you poor dear I can't believe what you have been through A convent girl! A run-away marriage!
Now tell us roxie "
verse 2
Who's Fred Casely?
My ex-boyfriend.
I was leavin'.
Was he angry?
She knew that she was doin' wrong.
Then describe it.
He came toward me.
From my bureau.
Did you fight him?
Like a tiger.
He had strength and she had none.
And yet we both reached for the gun
Chorus 1
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both
Oh yes we both
Oh yes, we both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, we both reached for the gun
For the gun.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun,
for the gun.
Refrain #1
Under-standable, understand able
Yes it's perfectly understandable
Compre-hensible, Compre-hensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
verse 3
How're you feeling?
Very frightened
Are you kidding?
What's your statement?
I'd give my life to bring him back
And?
Stay away from
What?
Play for fun
And what?
That's the thought that
Yeah
Came up-on me
When?
When we both reached for the gun!
Refrain #2
Under-standable, understandable
Yes, it's perfectly unders-tandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible!
Chorus 2
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
Let me hear it!
The gun, the gun, the gun,
The gun
For the Gun.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
the gun, the gun,
The gun, the gun
For the gun.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, they both reached for the gun
For the gun.

The gun, the gun, the gun
Both reached for the gun
