Karaoké Smackwater Jack Carole King

Now Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun

Because he was in the mood for 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

And now Big Jim the Chief stood for law and order

Well 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 street for our wives and our daughters

You can't talk to a man when he don't want to understand no no no no no

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 were quite pleased

'Cos 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 hands

Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun

Yeah Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun

Oh Smackwater Jack yeah

Talkin' 'bout

Smackwater Jack yeah

Talkin' 'bout

Smackwater Jack now
