Shotgun Boogie

In the style of

"Tennessee" Ernie Ford

Lyrics

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 jumpin'
in the grass
wait'll they hear
my ol' 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 scaleybark
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 the
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 got a
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 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
outrun the shot

shotgun boogie
i wanted
weddin' bells
i'll be back little gal
when your pappy
runs out of shells
