Lyrics:

I'm gonna shine up my boots, pick up my best hat
Goin' to a place called the 'old briar patch'
Gonna get loose, and I'm gonna have fun
Gonna go huntin' but I won't need a gun, now

Well, the season's always open and there ain't no limit you see
And they can be more challenging than a rock mountain sheep
I have hunted them four legged deer
But the two legged are a lot more fun

CHORUS
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight, Lord, but I ain't takin' no gun
Hey, the kind of game I'm looking for is not that hard to snare

But they can be more dangerous tthan a big old grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs, and a skin already tanned in the sun
I'm gonna go hunting tonight, Lord, and I ain't taking no gun

Big old beautiful wildcat, they're the kind that are hard to track
The joint is crawlin' with the other hunters, and the she-cats are doublin' back
Now is the time for patience, Fon't fire on the first one
Don't waste your powder on a little bitty baby, get a full grown
Wo wo wo man

(chorus)
