Lyrics " Shotgun Boogie (Guns) "

Original text with translation

Shotgun Boogie (Guns)

Tennessee Ernie Ford

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 to shoot a big fat dove

Shotgun Boogie, boy the feathers flew

Look out Mister 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 sixteen-gauge choked down like a rifle

He don’t like a man that’s a-gonna trifle»

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

When the gun went off, I outran the shot

Shotgun Boogie, I wanted wedding bells

I’ll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells
