[00:00.00]Shotgun Boogie - Cecil Grant
[00:06.35]There it stands in the corner
[00:07.77]With the barrel so straight
[00:09.09]I looked out the winder and over the gate
[00:12.28]The big fat rabbits are jumpin' in the grass
[00:15.24]Wait 'till they hear my old shotgun blast
[00:18.55]Shotgun boogie I done saw your track
[00:24.26]Look out Mr Rabbit when
[00:25.78]I cock my hammer back
[00:30.18]Well over on the ridge is a scaly bark
[00:33.57]Hickory nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark
[00:36.41]The big fat squirrels they scratch and they fight
[00:39.49]I'll be on that ridge before daylight
[00:42.45]With a shotgun boogie all I need is one shot
[00:48.41]Look out bushy-tails tonight you'll be in the pot
[01:13.06]Well I met a pretty gal she was tall and thin
[01:16.08]I asked her what she had she had a fox four-ten
[01:19.27]I looked her up and down said boy this is love
[01:22.12]So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove
[01:25.51]Shotgun boogie how the feathers flew
[01:31.32]Look out Mr Dove when she draws a bead on you
[01:37.28]I sat down on a log took her on my lap
[01:40.49]She said wait a minute bud you got to see my pap
[01:43.57]He's gotta sixteen gauge choked down like a rifle
[01:46.89]He don't like a man that's gonna trifle
[01:50.13]Shotgun boogie draws a bead so fine
[01:55.90]Look out big boy he's loaded all the time
[02:20.65]Well I called on her pap
[02:22.48]Like a gentleman oughter
[02:24.11]He said no brush hunter's
[02:25.44]Gonna get my daughter
[02:27.06]He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
[02:30.11]When the gun went off I outrun the shot
[02:33.43]Shotgun boogie I wanted weddin' bells
[02:39.11]I'll be back little gal
[02:40.73]When your pappy runs out of shells
