Shotgun Boogie

Shotgun Boogie - Pat Boone and His Orchestra

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 there is a cage barks

Hickry nuts so big you can see them in the dark

The big fat squirrels they scratch and they bite

I'll be on that ridge before daylight

But the shotgun boogie all I need is one shot

Look out bushy tail tonight you'll be in the pot

Well I met a pretty girl she was tall and thin

I asked her what she had

She said a fox fourteen

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 Mrs 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

Oh yeah

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

Shotgun boogie I wanted wedding bells

I'll be back little girl

When your pappy runs out of shells
