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 |
