Look [G] out Mr. Rabbit when I [G7] cock my hammer [C] back. Well, over on the ridge is a (*scaley bark) Hick'er nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark The big fat Squirrels they scratch and they bite I'll be on that ridge before daylight (*) Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) all I need is one shot ... Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot. Well, I met pretty gal she was tall and thin I asked her what she had, she said: "A FOX 410." I looked her up and down and said: "Boy, this is love." So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove (*) Shot-gun 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, bub, you got to see my pap, He's got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle." (*) Shot-gun 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 outran the shot (*) Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) I wanted wedding bells ... I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells. |
