There it stands in the corner with its barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are jumping in the grass
Just wait till they hear my old shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie, I done saw your trap
Look out, Mr. Rabbit, when I cock my hammer fast
Shotgun boogie
Hey, over in the woods in the scaly park
There's hickory nuts so big you can see them in the dark
The big fat squirrels, they scratch and they bite
And 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 park
Shotgun boogie
Well, I met a pretty gal, she was tall
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 love
So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat dove
Shotgun boogie
Boy, the feathers flew
Look out, Mr. Dove, when she draws her feet on you
Shotgun boogie
Well, I sat down on a log, took her on my lap
She said, wait a minute, Tex, you gotta see my path
He's got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle
And he don't like a man
He's gonna try for
Shotgun boogie
Draws her feet so fine
Look out, big boy, he's loaded all the time
Shotgun boogie
Of course, I called on her pap like a gentleman oughter
He said, no brush hunter's gonna get my daughter
He cocked back the hammer right there on the spot
When that gun went off, I'd run that shot
Shotgun boogie
I wanted wedding bells
I'll be back, little gal
When your pappy runs out of shells
Shotgun boogie
