AmFinest marksman iDn the west
RG6ex MarCksley
AmWhen it came to gun slinging Dhe was the best
[Verse]
Rex MaGrksley at an younger age
shot holes in caCns without a missin'
sadly they were Amin the pantry
so beans painted Gthe whole darn kitchen
His parents thGen let him shoot
the empty cans Cout on their fence
but Rex trick Amshot out all the nails
so out the fenGce all their cows went
His father cried!
[Chorus]

AmWhen it came to gun slinging Dhe was the best
[Verse]
Rex Marksley Gwas a tinkerer
an engineer Cextraordinaire
He made quicAmk-reloading gadgets
so he could Gfire non-stop with panache and flare
He became a Ggun for hire
and a hero wChereever he roamed
he disarmed Amforty bandits one time
with two gunCshots all on his own
