shotgun boogie

Singer:johnny horton

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 a-jumpin' in the grass

wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast

shotgun boogie

i done saw your tracks

look out mr. rabbit when i cock my hammer back

well

over on the ridge is a scaly bark

hick'ry 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

shotgun boogie

all i need is one shot

look out bushy tail

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"
