    Lyrics
    Little Gun Words & Music by Robert Priest

    First lady bizarro number one
    Just after he murder of Brother John
    She let it be known that she too had a gun
    But nobody should worry
    'Cause it's just a Little gun
    Little gun little gun little gun
    Hyaaah

    Well I thought of her lying there
    With her long lovely lonely old limbs
    She's thinking on the nationsand she's chanting out her salvation hymns
    And deep in her sleep she says 'O my sweet Ron,'
    But it's one of those nights when sweet Ron is gone
    Still she reaches out her arms as if to hold someone
    But when she bends down to kiss it

    It's just that little gun
    little gun little gun little gun
    Little gun little gun little gun little gun
    Little gun hyah

    Now ain't that cute, cute, cute
    I hope she don't shoot, shoot shoot

    Little gun's they look a lot bigger
    Little gun when your finger's on the trigger
    Little gun I said they look a lot bigger
    Little gun, when your fingers on the trigger

    It was in the darkest part of the night
    When they came for the chosen ones
    There was a man with a hood on his head
    said which ones were the ones
    They took them outside
    They were trembling with fear
    And they shot them in the night
    Where their families could hear
    You saw it next day on the TV
    There were 27 bodies lying dead in the street
    And the newsman stood in El Salvador's sun
    And he wondered out loud why and how was this done
    Well me I got a feelin'
    It was just that little gun
    Little gun little gun little gun
    Little gun little gun little gun little gun
    Little gun
    Hyaah

    That ain't cute, cute, cute
    No don't shoot, don't shoot
