Smackwater Jack

Ooh

Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun

'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation

He just 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) I'm talkin' 'bout Smack no, no, no, no

Now, Big Jim the chief stood for law and order

He called for the guard to come and surround the border

From his bulldog mouth, as he let the posse south

Came the cry, we got to ride to clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters

You can't talk to a man

When he don't wanna understand (Shotgun)

I'm talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack

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, shotgun (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 (Bought a shotgun) Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack yeah

Bought a shotgun (Smackwater jack and his shotgun)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah oh

(Smackwater Jack, yeah)

(Smackwater Jack and his shotgun)

(Talking 'bout Smack, talking 'bout Jack)

(Smackwater Jack and his shotgun)
