Align:    
  • (performed with Carole King)
  • 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
  • You can't talk to a man
  • With a shotgun in his hand
  • Shotgun
  • 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
  • Clean up the streets 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, 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
  • '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
  • Shotgun in his hand
  • Smackwater Jack, yeah
  • Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
  • Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
  • Smackwater Jack, yeah
  • Smackwater Jack, yeah
  • Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah
  • Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, oh
  • Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun,
  • Talkin' about Smack, talkin' about Jack
  • Smackwater Jack, yeah
