Shotgun Boogie

Lyrics

Standin' over in the corner where the barrels are straight Looked out the window and over the gate A big fat rabbit, he was jumpin' in the grass Wait 'till you hear my old shotgun blast Shotgun boogie, I done saw your tracks Look out, Mr. Rabbit, when I cock my hammer back It's over on the ridge near the scaling back Hickory up so big that you can see them in the dark Those big fat squirrels, they scratch and they bite I'll be on that ridge before daylight Shotgun boogie, all I need is one shot Look out, bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the park Well I met a little girl, she was tall and thin Asked her what she had, she said a Fox .410 I looked her up and down, said "Boy, this is love" We're headed to the bush to shoot the big fat dove Shotgun boogie, oh, the feathers flew Watch out big dove when she draws a beat on you I sat down on a log, put a roll in my lap She said "Wait a minute, boy, you better see my pap" "He's got a 16 gauge choked down like a rifle He don't like a man who's gonna trifle" Shotgun boogie, because I'm bein' so fine Look out, big boy, he's loaded all the time Well I called on her pappy like a gentlemen oughta He said "No brush hunter's gonna marry my daughter!" He pulled back the hammer right on the spot But when the gun went off, I outran the shot Shotgun boogie, I wanted wedding bells "I'll be back, little girl, when your pappy runs out of shells!"
