Slim Carter - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Who’s gonna give a job to old slim carter

Who’s gonna give a man a place to say

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand

Who needs a gunhand

I heard he was born somewhere in south dakota

His mama ran off with an indian agent

They say they hung his daddy for selling bad whiskey to the balckfeet

So at ten years old, he hit the road, and kept on moving

Who’s gonna give a job to old slim carter

Who’s gonna give a man a place to say

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand

Who needs a gunhand

He finally ended up in hollywood california

He hocked the gold buckle that he worked so hard for

Landed a job as a stuntman for america’s favorite cowboy

Until the stage had a wreck, he broke his neck

And it was all over

Who’s gonna give a job to old slim carter

Who’s gonna give a man a place to say

Who do you know that needs an old tired out rodeo man

Who do you know nowadays needs a gun hand

Who needs a gunhand

Who needs a gunhand

Who needs a gunhand?
