King Carole Smackwater Jack Lyrics

Smackwater Jack Lyrics

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
Big Jim
the Chief stood for law and order
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!"
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
where quite pleased
Cause the outlaw had been sized
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
