Smack Water Jack
Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation He didn't think about the noose He just let it all hang loose 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 With a shotgun in his hand
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order He called for the men to surround the border And from his bulldog mouth As the posse headed south Came a cry, 'we got the right to clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You can't talk to a man when he don't wanna understand And he don't wanna understand
The account of the capture wasn't in the papers But you know they hung old Smack right then and there instead of later And the people were quite pleased That the outlaw had been seized And on the whole it was a very good year for the undertaker You can't talk to a man when he don't wanna understand When he don't wanna understand
