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



You Can't Talk To A Man With A Shotgun In His Hand



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 Called The Posse South

Came The Cry " We Got 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



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

Cause The Outlaw Had Been Seized

And On The Whole, It Was A Very Good Year For The Undertaker
