ILX please help - as many songs about guns as you can name

Songs about guns please, in as many music genres is as possible. I'm interested in all of it but any pre-war American music about guns would be especially welcome as that is a personal blindspot.

You mean firearms, right?

'Sam, Sam, pick oop tha' musket,'
The Duke said as quiet as could be,
'Sam, Sam, pick oop tha' musket
Coom on, lad, just to please me.'
'Airight, Duke,' said Old Sam, 'just for thee I'll oblige,
and to show thee I meant no offence.'
So Sam picked it up, 'Gradeley, lad,' said the Duke,
'Right-o, boys, let battle commence.'
