There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the winder and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are jumpin in the grass
Wait til they hear my old shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie, I done saw your track
Look out Mr.Rabbit when I cock my hammer back
Well, over on the ridge is a scaly bark
Hickory nuts so big you can see em in the dark
The big fat squirrels, they scratch and they fight
Ill be on that ridge before daylight
With a shotgun boogie, all I need is one shot
Look out bushy tails, tonight youll 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, 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 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 bud, you got to see my pap
Hes gotta sixteen gauge choked down like a rifle
He dont like a man thats gonna trifle
Shotgun boogie, draws a bead so fine
Look out big boy, hes loaded all the time
Well, I called on her pap like a gentleman oughter
He said, No brush hunters gonna get my daughter
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
When the gun went off I outrun the shot
Shotgun boogie, I wanted weddin bells
Ill be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells
