Track byCarole King
He know smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun Cause he was in the mood of 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 Now big Jim the chief stood for law and order And he called for the guard to come and surround the border Now fron 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 Oh no no You can't talk to a man when he don't want to understand Oh no no no no <♪> Oh 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 where quite pleased Cause the outlaw had been sized 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 in his hand smackwater jack yeah smackwater jack bought a shotgun Yeah smackwater jack bought a shotgun Oh smackwater jack yeah smackwater jack yeah Talking about smackwater jack yeah Oh hand shotgun Talking about smackwater jack now Oh talking about jack bought a shotgun Talking about smack Talking about jack Smackwater jack yeah
