Three Pistols Lyrics by The Tragically Hip

Three Pistols Lyrics

    Tom Thompson came paddling past
    I'm pretty sure it was him
    And he spoke so softly in accordance
    With the growing of the dim
    He said, "Bring on the brand new renaissance
    Cause I think I'm ready
    I've been shaking all night long
    But my hands are steady."

    Three pistols came and three people went, on their way
    Three pistols strong and three people spent

    Well he found his little lonely love
    His bride of the northern woods
    But, she took me to the Opera House
    Like she said she would
    Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony
    Shakespeare bent to touch
    She never had any time for me
    Cause I didn't protest enough

    Three pistols came and three people went, on their way
    Two pistols strong and three people spent

    Little girls come on remembrance day
    Placing flowers on his grave
    She waits in the shadows 'til after dark
    To sweep them all away

    I say, bring on the brand new renaissance
    Cause I think I'm ready
    I've been shaking all night long
    But my hands are steady

    Three pistols came and three people went, on their way
    Three pistols strong and three people spent
    Three pistols came and three people went on their way
    One pistols strong and three people spent
