A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
and combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out

Don't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He laughed and kissed his mom and said your Billy Joe's a man
And I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away

Don't take your guns to town son...

He sang a song as on he rode his guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town a smile upon his lips

But his mother's words echoed again

Don't take your guns to town son...

He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And he tried to tell himself at last he'd become a man
A dust cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mother's words

Don't take your guns to town son...

Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered round
And wondered at his final words

Don't take your guns to town son...

Faron Young biography

Faron Young had one of the longest-running and most popular careers in country music history. Emerging in the early '50s, Young was one of the most popular honky tonkers to appear in the wake of Hank Williams' death, partially because he was able to smooth out some of the grittiest elements of Hank's music. Young balanced honky tonk with pop vocal phrasing and this combination of grit and polish resulted in a streak of popularity.

Faron, the youngest of six children, was born on February 25, 1932, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He grew up on a dairy farm his family operated outside the city, and he got his first guitar at an early age. By the time he was out of high school, he had joined a country band that was performing at local clubs.

He graduated from Fair Park High School in 1951, and then attended Centenary College of Louisiana. But he left college to join the [Louisiana Hayride]{1} as a regular performer. While on the [Hayride,] he met Webb Pie.....MORE.....(full Faron Young biography) ←
