There it stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
C
The big fat rabbits are a-jumpin' in the grass
G
Wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast
C G
Shotgun Boogie I done saw your tracks
D7 G
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
C
The big fat squirrels they scratch and they bite
G
I'll be on that ridge before daylight with
C G
Shotgun Boogie all I need is one shot
D7 G
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 410
C
I looked her up and down and said boy this is love
G
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove
C G
Shotgun Boogie boy the feathers flew
D7 G
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
C
He's got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle
G
He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle
C G
Shotgun Boogie draws a bead so fine
D7 G
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
C
He cocked back the hammer right on the spot
G
When the gun went off I outran the shot
C G
Shotgun Boogie I wanted wedding bells
D7 G
I'll be back little gal when your pappy runs out of shells
