Shotgun Boogie Lyrics
Shotgun Boogie - Pat Boone/Tennessee Ernie Ford
Written by：Tennessee Ernie Ford
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 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
I looked her up and down
And 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 Mister 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 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 oughta
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
Shotgun Boogie I wanted wedding bells
I'll be back little gal
When your pappy runs out of shells
