(*)Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) draws a bead so fine ...Look out big boy, he's loaded all the time.Well, I called on her pap like a gentleman oughterHe said: "No brush hunter's gonna get my daughter."He cocked back the hammer right on the spotWhen the gun went off, I outran the shot (*)Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) I wanted wedding bells ...I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells.
