Smackwater Jack
Now, Smackwater Jack,He bought a shotgun'Cause he was in the moodFor a little confrontation.He just a-let it all hang loose;He didn't think about the noose.He couldn't take no more abuseSo he shot down the congregation.You can't talk to a manWith a shotgun in his hand.Now, Big Jim the chiefStood for law and order.He called for the guard to comeAnd surround the border.Now, from his bulldog mouth,As he led the posse south,Came the cry, "We got to rideTo clean up the streetsFor our wives and our daughters!"You can't talk to a manWhen he don't wanna understand.No, no, no, no, no.Letras de cancionesThe account of the captureWasn't in the papers,But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right thenInstead of later.You know, the people were quite pleased'Cause the outlaw had been seizedAnd on the whole, it was a very good yearFor the undertaker.You know, you know, you can't talk to a manWith a shotgun in his hand.A shotgun in his hand.Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah.Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah.Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now.Talkin' 'bout Smack.
