G
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
