Shotgun Boogie
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
( Instrumental )
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,
She said Boy this is LOVE
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,
And 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
( Instrumental )
Well, I called on her Pap
Like a Gentleman oughter
He said no Brush Hunter
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 Weddin' Bells
I'll be back little Gal,
When your Pappy runs out of Shells
Yeah
