There is sand in the corner
with a barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big, fat rabbits are a
-jumpin' in the grass
Away to lay here my old shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie, I done saw your tracks
Look out, Mr. Rabbit,
might I cock my hammer back
Well, over on the ridge
there's a cagey fox
Hickory nuts so big
you can see them in the dark
The big fat squirrels,
they crack and they fight
I'll be on that ridge be fore daylight
With a shotgun boogie
All I need is one shot
Look out, bushy tail
Tonight you'll be in the pot
Well, met a pretty gal, she was tall and thin
I asked her what she had,
she said, a Fox 410
I looked her up and down
and said, boy, this is long
So we headed for the brush
to shoot a big fat dog
Shotgun boogie, boy, the feathers flew
Look out, Mr. Dove,
when she draws a bead on you
I sit down on a log hooker on my lap
She said, oh, wait a minute,
bud, you got to see my pap
He's got a sixteen -gauge
choke down like a rifle
He's old 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 a pap
like a gentleman oughta
He said, no brush hunter's
gonna get my daughter
He cocked back the hammer
right on the spot
And when the gun went off,
I had to run the shot
Shotgun boogie, I wanted wedding bells
I'll be back, little girl,
when your pappy runs out of shells
