Peter Stanley (Bojangles) Lyr Req: My 30-06 on the Wall (20) My 30-06 on the Wall 28 Aug 98


I am trying to find a song that I heard sung in Alaska about a disenchanted hermit. Some of the verses go:

Way back in the twenties when I was a kid I went with a halfbreed I'd met, But one night in Talkeetna she cleaned me out And took off with all she could get. So partners and women and dogs are taboo I know 'cause i've fussed with them all And the only true friend that I have in this world Is my 30.06 on the wall. She's stood by my shoulder and stopped the brown bear And she keeps the cache full in the fall. She's got the one bark that a claim-jumper knows And she asks no attention at all.
