Smackwater Jack
Lyrics
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 (shotgun) ♪ 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" (oh, no, no) 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, yeah) Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah (Smackwater Jack, yeah) Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah (ooh, and a shotgun) Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, oh Talkin' 'bout Jack and his shotgun Talkin' 'bout Smack Talkin' 'bout Jack Smackwater Jack, yeah
