[00:05.71] There it stands in the corner
[00:07.09] with the barrel so straight
[00:08.40] I looked out the winder
[00:09.71] and over the gate
[00:11.14] The big fat rabbits
[00:12.33] are jumpin' in the grass
[00:13.64] Wait 'till they hear
[00:15.26] my old shotgun blast
[00:17.01] Shotgun boogie,
[00:17.95] I done saw your track
[00:20.94] Look out Mr. Rabbit
[00:23.37] when I cock my hammer back
[00:25.31]
[00:27.61] Well, over on the
[00:28.74] ridge is a scaly bark
[00:30.30] Hickory nuts so big
[00:31.92] you can see'em in the dark
[00:33.36] The big fat squirrels,
[00:34.55] they scratch and they fight
[00:35.80] I'll be on that ridge
[00:37.10] before daylight
[00:38.67] With a shotgun boogie,
[00:39.91] all I need is one shot
[00:42.78]
[00:44.16] Look out bushy-tails,
[00:45.09] tonight you'll be in the pot
[00:47.52]
[01:05.49] Well, I met a pretty gal,
[01:06.81] she was tall and thin
[01:07.81] I asked her what she had,
[01:09.68] she said a Fox four-ten
[01:10.67] I looked her up and down,
[01:12.42] said boy this is love
[01:13.55] So we headed for the brush
[01:14.98] to shoot a big fat dove
[01:16.60] Shotgun boogie,
[01:17.72] boy the feathers flew
[01:20.54]
[01:22.03] Look out Mr. Dove when
[01:23.34] she draws a bead on you
[01:25.53]
[01:27.21] I sat down on a log,
[01:28.65] took her on my lap
[01:29.96] She said wait a minute bud,
[01:31.45] you got to see my pap
[01:32.70] He's gotta sixteen gauge
[01:34.02] choked down like a rifle
[01:35.39] He don't like a man
[01:36.76] that's a-gonna trifle
[01:38.38] Shotgun boogie,
[01:39.76] draws a bead so fine
[01:42.12]
[01:43.74] Look out big boy,
[01:44.68] he's loaded all the time
[01:46.68]
[02:05.52] Well, I called on her pap
[02:06.78] like a gentleman oughter
[02:07.96] He said no brush hunter's
[02:09.33] gonna get my daughter
[02:10.26] He cocked back the
[02:11.89] hammer right on the spot
[02:13.33] When the gun went off
[02:14.82] I outrun the shot
[02:16.00]
[02:16.69] Shotgun boogie,
[02:17.69] I wanted weddin' bells
[02:20.50] I'll be back little gal,
[02:23.00] when your pappy runs out of shells
