We Both Reached for the Gun -Jerry Orbach/Gwen Verdon/M.O'Haughey/Chicago Ensemble
Written by :John Kander/Fred Ebb/Peter Howard
Where'd you come from
Mississippi
And your parents
Very wealthy
Where are they now
Six feet under
But she was granted one more start
The convent of the sacred heart
When'd you get here
Nineteen twenty
How old were you
Don't remember
Then what happened
I met Amos and he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
A convent girl a run away marriage
Oh it's too terrible you poor poor dear
Who's Fred Casely
My ex boyfriend
Why'd you shoot him
I was leaving
Was he angry
Like a madman
Still I said Fred move along
She knew that she was doing wrong
Then describe it
He came toward me
With a pistol
From my bureau
Did you fight him
Like a tiger
He had strength and she had none
And yet we both reached for the gun
Oh yes oh yes oh yes we both oh yes we both
Oh yes we both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
Oh yes we both reached for the gun for the gun
Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both oh yes they both
Oh yes they both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
Oh yes they both reached for the gun for the gun
Understandable understandable
Yes it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible it's so defensible
How're you feeling
Very frightened
Are you sorry
Are you kidding
What's you're statement
All I'd say is though my choo choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
And
Stay away from
What
Jazz and liquor
And
And the men who
What
Play for fun
And what
That's the thought that
Yeah
Came upon me
When
When we both reached for the gun
Understandable understandable
Yes it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible it's so defensible
Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both oh yes they both
Let me hear it
Oh yes they both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
Oh yes they both reached for the gun for the gun
Little louder
Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both oh yes they both
Oh yes they both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
Oh yes they both reached for the gun for the gun
Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both oh yes they both
Oh yes they both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
Oh yes they both reached for the gun for the gun
Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both
Oh yes they both oh yes they both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
Both reached for the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
The gun the gun the gun the gun
Both reached for the gun
