Shotgun Boogie Lyrics - 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" I looked her up and down and said 

"Boy, this is love" So we headed for the brush

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

I wanted wedding bells I'll be back little gal, 

When your pappy runs out of shells
