Lyrics
0:16Now Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun
0:24'Cause he was in the mood
0:27For a little confrontation
0:31He just let it all hang loose
0:35He didn't think about the noose
0:39He couldn't take no more abuse
0:42So he shot down the congregation
0:48You can't talk to a man
0:52With a shotgun in his hand
0:57Shotgun
1:06Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
1:13He called for the guard to come
1:16And surround the border
1:21Now from his bulldog mouth
1:25As he led the posse south
1:29Came the cry we got to ride
1:31Clean up the streets for our wives
1:34And our daughters
1:38You can't talk to a man
1:42When he don't want to understand
1:47No no no no no no
2:15The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
2:22But you know they hanged ole
2:24Smack right then instead of later
2:32You know the people were quite pleased
2:35'Cause the outlaw had been seized
2:39And on the whole it was a very good year
2:44For the undertaker
2:48You know you know you can't talk to a man
2:52With a shotgun in his hand
2:57Shotgun in his hand
3:00Smackwater Jack yeah
3:01Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
3:04Yeah Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
3:08Smackwater Jack yeah
3:10Smackwater Jack yeah
3:13Talkin' about Smackwater Jack yeah
