Lyrics:

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 scaley bark
Hick'er 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
Shot-gun Boogie - all I need is one shot
Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot.

Well, I met pretty gal she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had, she said: a FOX 410
I looked her up and down and said: Boy, this is love

So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove
Shot-gun 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, bub, you got to see my pap,
He's got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle

He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle.
Shot-gun 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 oughter
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
Shot-gun Boogie - I wanted wedding bells
I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells.
