tennessee ernie ford - shot gun boogie lyrics
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 gr-ss
wait ’til they hear my old shotgun blast
shotgun boogie, i done saw your track
look out mr.rabbit when i c-ck 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 c-cked 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 sh-lls
