Kenny Rogers Gideon Tanner Lyrics

Gideon Tanner Lyrics

Now just look, the whole town has turned out today

To say a last prayer for me and Lord only knows

How surprised they would be, if they knew I could see them

And I could hear what they say

Oh, if they knew I could see them, and I could hear what they say



Some say, I was a good man, some disagree

Some folks are sad, some are glad to see the last of me



I know, I was happy man most of my days

And through it all, if I had a time or two, it was worth it to me

I'm the last of my family, so I'm takin' my name

No children do I leave behind to sing Rock Of Ages



For an old warn out cowboy

You can take away my body but the spirit is mine

Oh, you can take away my body, yeah

But the spirit is mine



Some say I was a good man and some disagree

Some folks are sad and some are glad to see the last of me



I know I was happy man most of my days

And through it all, if I had a time or two, it was worth it to me



Some say I was a good man, some disagree [unverified]
