SMACKWATER JACK

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 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 street For our wives and our daughters!” You can't talk to a man when he don't want to understand The account of the capture wasn't in the papers But you know, they hanged ole 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... can't talk to a man with a shotgun in his hand shotgun in his hand Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun Smackwater Jack yeah Talkin' about a Smackwater Jack yeah Talkin' about a Smackwater Jack...
