Smack Water Jack
|
|
Now, Smackwater Jack, He bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood For a little confrontation. He just a-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. 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 To clean up the streets For our wives and our daughters!" You can't talk to a man When he don't wanna understand. No, no, no, no, no. The account of the capture Wasn't in the papers, But you know, they hanged ol' 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. A shotgun in his hand. Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now. Talkin' 'bout Smack. Talkin' 'bout Jack. Smackwater Jack, yeah. |

Soldier Blue
|
|
I look out and I see a land Young and lovely hard and strong For 50,000 years we've danced her praises Prayed our thanks and we've just begun Yes, yes This this is my country Young and growing Free and flowing sea to sea Yes this is my country Ripe and bearing miracles In every pond and tree Her spirit walks the high country Giving free wild samples And setting an example how to give Yes this is my country Retching and turning She's like a baby learning how to live. I can stand upon a hill at dawn Look all around me Feel her surround me Soldier Blue Can't you see her life has just begun It's beating inside us Telling us she's here to guide us. Soldier Blue, Soldier Blue Can't you see that there's Another way to love her Yes this is my country I sprang from her and I'm Learning how to count upon her Tall trees and the corn is high country Yes I love her and I'm Learning how to take care of her When the news stories get me down I take a drink of freedom to think of North America from toe to crown It's never long before I know just why I belong here |
