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
Hickery 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
Shot-gun 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 410."
I looked her up and down and said: "Boy, this is love."
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove
Shot-gun 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 got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle
He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle.
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) draws a beat 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
Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) I wanted wedding bells ...
I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells.
