Lyrics

Rex Marksley
Finest marksman
In the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gunslingin'
He was the best
Rex Marksley at a younger age
Shot holes in cans without a-missin'
Sadly they were in the pantry
So beans painted the whole darn kitchen
His parents then let him shoot
The empty cans out on their fence
But Rex trick shot out all the nails
Throughout the fence, all their cows went
His father cried
Rex Marksley
Finest marksmen
In the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gunslingin'
He was the best
Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
An engineer extraordinaire
He made quick reloading gadgets
So he could fire nonstop with panache and flair
He became a gun for hire
And a hero wherever he roamed
He disarmed 40 bandits one time
With two gunshots all on his own
Rex Marksley
Finest marksman
In the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gunslingin'
He was the best
He had heart and a righteous stand
And they tell of his stories across the land
He jammed the guns that fired his way
By shooting bullets into their barrels they'd say
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention
And zapped that evil demon train back to its own dimension
That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright
'Till Rex projectiled pickaxes with dynamite
He fought the corrupt rattlesnake king and it-a hissed in agony
Then Rex tought all the jackalopes to yodle in harmony
Here we go now!
Rex Marksley rode across the west
Bringing justice to the land
He tamed enormous vultures
Reigned and flew them with one hand
All the women blushed and fainted
When Rex winked his eye
And the bad guys always fell
To their demise
The man was a legend
And a hero through and through
And Rex was a friend to
The battered and the bruised
He had seen a lot of wonderments
In his glory days
And he died an old man
Alone on the prairie they say
Rex Marksley
Finest marksmen
In the west
Rex Marksley
When it came to gunslingin'
He was the best
Ye-haw, ye-haw
Ye-haw, bang, bang
Ye-haw, bang, bang
