* 8-bar intro
* Verse 1 Now, Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation.
He just a-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).
* 4-bar break
* Verse 2 Now, Big Jim, the chief stood for law and order.
He called for the guard to come and surround the border.
Now, from his bulldog mouth,
As he led the posse south,
Came the cry, "We got to ride to clean up the streets
For our wives and our daughters!"
(Oh, no no.)
You can't talk to a man
When he don't wanna understand.
No, no, no, no, no.
* 14-bar break
* Verse 3 The account of the capture wasn't in the papers,
But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then
Instead of later.
You know, the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
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.
A shotgun in his hand.
* Vamp Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
(Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah..
(Smackwater Jack, yeah,
Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah.
(Oooooooh, and his shotgun)
Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, ow.
(Ooooooh, talkin' 'bout Jack and his shotgun)
Talkin' 'bout Smack.
Talkin' 'bout Jack.
Smackwater Jack, yeah.
