	Now, Smackwater Jack,
	He bought a shotgun
	'Cause he was in the mood
	For a little confrontation.
	He just a-let it all hang loose;
	He didn't think about the noose.
	He couldn't take no more abuse
	So he shot down the congregation.
	You can't talk to a man
	With a shotgun in his hand.
	Now, Big Jim the chief
	Stood for law and order.
	He called for the guard to come
	And surround the border.
	Now, from his bulldog mouth,
	As he led the posse south,
	Came the cry, "We got to ride
	To clean up the streets
	For our wives and our daughters!"
	You can't talk to a man
	When he don't wanna understand.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	The account of the capture
	Wasn't in the papers,
	But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then
	Instead of later.
	You know, the people were quite pleased
	'Cause the outlaw had been seized
	And on the whole, it was a very good year
	For the undertaker.
	You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
	With a shotgun in his hand.
	A shotgun in his hand.
	Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
	Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
	Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah.
	Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah.
	Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now.
	Talkin' 'bout Smack.
	Talkin' 'bout Jack.
	Smackwater Jack, yeah.
