The Shot Gun Boogie歌词

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
