Carole King — Smackwater Jack Live In Concert

[Verse 1] Now Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun 'Cause 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 [Chorus] You can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand Shotgun [Verse 2] Now Big Jim the Chief stood for law and order (Yes he did y'all) 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 Lord, Lord) [Chorus] You can't talk to a man When he don't wanna understand Oh [Verse 3] The account of the capture wasn't in the papers (Oh no) But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then instead of later You know the people were quite pleased Because the outlaw had been seized And on the whole, it was a very good year (Yeah yeah) For the undertaker [Chorus] You know, you know, you know you can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand I said a shotgun in his hand [Outro] Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun Smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun (Shotgun) Talkin' 'bout Smack, talkin' 'bout Jack Talkin' 'bout Smack and his shotgun (I said) Talkin' 'bout Smack, talkin' 'bout Jack Talkin' 'bout Smack and his shotgun (Oh) Talkin' 'bout Smack, talkin' 'bout Jack Talkin' 'bout Smack and his shotgun (Oh) Talkin' 'bout Smack, talkin' 'bout Jack Smackwater Jack, yeah
