Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a hero
Introduction of a hero in a tale
He rode into town on a grey, dark horse
Arrival of the hero in the town on a dark horse
I never knew his na-ame
Speaker's lack of knowledge about the hero's name
Or even where he came from
Ignorance regarding the hero's origin
All the people from the town
The town's people gathering around
They gathered around. They gathered around
Reiteration of the people gathering around
All the people from the town
Repetition of the townsfolk gathering
They gathered around. They gathered around
Reiteration of the people gathering around
To see them stand up face to face
Depiction of a confrontation between the hero and someone else
For the showdown For the showdown
Emphasis on the impending clash or confrontation
To see them stand up face to face
Reiteration of the impending confrontation
For the showdown For the showdown
Reiteration of the anticipation for the confrontation
He's the fastest gun around
Attribution of the hero's exceptional skill with a gun
Bang Bang Bang
Sound effect indicating the hero shooting
He shot them down
Description of the hero shooting down opponents
