Peter Rowan - Ruby Ridge
I’ll tell you a story, not long ago
High on a mountain in Idaho
In Idaho, I was living free
Sold a sawed-off shotgun to a deputy
Chorus:
Don’t shoot me down (don’t shoot me down)
Don’t shoot me down (don’t shoot me down)
Got a wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
Please don’t shoot me down
They killed a good dog, they killed my boy
My only son, my pride and joy
They shot my wife dead on the floor
Holding our baby in the cabin door
(Chorus)
If you take a notion and you want to go
Build you a cabin in Idaho
In Idaho, if you’re living free
Don’t sell no shotgun to no deputy
(Chorus)
THIS is my favorite gun song.

Rowan's version on his 1996 release "Bluegrass Boy" has a harder drive and stronger instrumentals, but here is an adequate cover.
