<p id="">Woah, go bring me my shotgun<br>Oh I'm gonna start shootin' again<br>Go bring me my shotgun<br>You know I just got to start shootin' again<br>You know I'm gonna shoot my woman<br>Cause she's foolin' around with too many men</p><p id="">Yes bring me my shotgun<br>Yes man and a pocket full of shells<br>Yes go bring me my shotgun<br>Yes man and a pocket full of shells<br>Yeah you know I'm gonna kill that woman<br>I'm gonna throw her in that old deep dug well<br>Hide her from everybody they won't know where she at</p><p id="">That woman said Lightnin' you can't shoot me<br>She said now you is dead of tryin'<br>I don't take a day off for nobody<br>She said Lightnin' you can't shoot me<br>She said yes and you dare to try<br>I said the only reason I don't shoot you little woman<br>My double barrel shotgun, it just won't fire</p>
