Smackwater Jack

The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
Now, big Jim the chief, stood for law and order

Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah
'Cause the outlaw had been seized and on the whole
You can't talk to a man
Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now
With a shotgun in his hand
For our wives and our daughters"

You can't talk to a man

A shotgun in his hand
When he don't wanna understand
And now from his bulldog mouth as he led the posse South
Came the cry, "We got to ride to clean up the streets
He just a-let it all hang loose, he didn't think about the noose
Talkin' 'bout Smack, talkin' 'bout Jack
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
It was a very good year for the undertaker

With a shotgun in his hand
You know, you know, you can't talk to a man

But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then instead of later
He couldn't take no more abuse so he shot down the congregation
You know, the people were quite pleased
No, no, no, no, no

He called for the guard to come and surround the border
