The Shotgun Boogie (Remastered 2014)

There it stands in the corner

with the barrel so straight

I looked out the winder

and over the gate

The big fat rabbits

are jumpin' in the grass

Wait 'till they hear

my old shotgun blast

Shotgun boogie,

I done saw your track

Look out Mr. Rabbit

when I cock my hammer back

Well, over on the

ridge is a scaly bark

Hickory nuts so big

you can see'em in the dark

The big fat squirrels,

they scratch and they fight

I'll be on that ridge

before daylight

With a shotgun boogie,

all I need is one shot

Look out bushy-tails,

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,

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 Mr. Dove when

she draws a bead on you

I sat down on a log,

took her on my lap

She said wait a minute bud,

you got to see my pap

He's gotta 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 oughter

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 outrun the shot

Shotgun boogie,

I wanted weddin' bells

I'll be back little gal,

when your pappy runs out of shells
