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 \'til 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 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
