Shotgun Boogie |
There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight |
I looked out the window and over the gate |
The big, fat rabbits are a-jumpin' in the grass |
Wait’ll they hear my old shotgun blast |
Shotgun Boogie, I done saw your tracks |
Look out Mr. Rabbit when I cock my hammer back |
Well, over on the ridge is a scaly bark |
Hick’ry nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark |
The big fat squirrels they scratch and they bite |
I’ll be on that ridge before daylight |
Shotgun Boogie, all I need is one shot |
Look out bushy tail, tonight you’ll be in the pot |
Well, I met a pretty gal, she was tall and thin |
I asked her what she had, she said: «A Fox Four-Ten» |
I looked her up and down and said: «Boy, this is love» |
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove |
Shotgun Boogie, boy the feathers flew |
Look out Mister Dove when she draws a bead on you |
I sat down on a log, took her on my lap |
She said, «Wait a minute, bub, you got to see my Pap |
He’s got a sixteen-gauge choked down like a rifle |
He don’t like a man that’s a-gonna trifle» |
Shotgun Boogie, draws a bead so fine |
Look out big boy, he’s loaded all the time |
Well, I called on her Pap like a gentleman oughta |
He said: «No brush hunter’s gonna get my daughter» |
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot |
When the gun went off, I outran the shot |
Shotgun Boogie, I wanted wedding bells |
I’ll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells |
