[00:03.36]Pass the Rifle (Dark Country Music) - Dark Country Boy
[00:17.34]Pass the rifle
[00:20.33]And pass the word
[00:23.92]The plow and the sword
[00:27.18]And the singing bird
[00:30.42]Pass them to the young ones
[00:32.96]For the old gets stilled
[00:37.56]Pass the rifle
[00:40.87]Carry the will
[00:47.42]I'm getting too old for the riding and the raid
[00:51.37]My hands ain't steady and my eyes start to fade
[00:54.75]But there's evil still standing and there's children still bound
[00:58.04]So I hand down the calling to the young ones around
[01:07.44]I give them the scripture and I give them the aim
[01:10.43]And I give them the reason so they carry it plain
[01:13.86]Never for the glory, only ever for the killed
[01:17.57]Pass the rifle
[01:20.88]Carry the will
[01:34.66]No shepherd lives forever on a single little breath
[01:38.13]It lives in the passing for the shepherd meets death
[01:41.34]From the old one hand to the young one that's skilled
[01:44.67]Pass the rifle
[01:47.57]Carry the will
[01:50.89]Pass the rifle
[01:53.67]And pass the word
[01:57.40]The plow and the sword
[02:00.64]And the singing bird
[02:03.83]Pass them to the young ones
[02:06.34]For the old gets stilled
[02:10.89]Pass the rifle
[02:14.19]Carry the will
