Shotgun Blues Lyrics

Shotgun Blues lyrics

Yeah, now I’m a man baby

I ain’t no boy no more

Yeah, now I’m a man baby

I ain’t no boy no more



I spent twelve years in prison

Here I am standin’ at your door



I go to work in the morning 

Your other man comes creeping around

I go to work every morning 

Saw your other man come creepin’ around

I saw ‘em

I came home with a shotgun baby

He was dead ‘fore he hit the ground

I shot him down

I shot him down



I did my time baby

And I still want you here with me

I said my time baby

But with you I’ll never be free

A broken man all alone

Is what I ain’t never gonna be



I ain’t afraid of no man

Whiskey and wine my only friends

Yea, I ain’t afraid of no man

Still got a shotgun in my hands

But I’m afraid to come inside

I just might do it all over again
