Shotgun Boogie
Shotgun Boogie
There he stands in the corner
with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are
jumping in the grass
Wait till you 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
that you can see them 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 Tail,
tonight you'll be in a pod
Well, I met a pretty gal, she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had,
she said, a Fox 410
I looked her up and down,
said, boy, this is love
So we hunted for the brushes,
you the big fat dove
Shotgun boogie,
boy, the feathers flew
Look out, Mr. Dove,
when she draws a beat on you
I sat down on a log, took it on my lap
She said, wait a minute, bud,
you gotta see my pap
He's got a 16 -gauge, so down like a rifle
He don't like the man that's
gonna trifle
Shotgun boogie draws a beat so fine
Look out, big boy,
he's loaded all the time
Well, I called on the pap
like a gentleman ought to
He says, no rush, honey,
he'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 want it wet and bare
I'll be back, little gal,
when your pappy runs out on you
