Sam ("Lightning") Hopkins - Shotgun Blues lyrics

Yes, I said, go bring me my shotgun Oh, bring me back some shells Yes, I said, go bring me my shotgun Oh, bring me back a pocket full of shells Yes, if I don't get some competition You know there's gonna be trouble here Yes, you know my woman tried to quit me When I ain't done nothin' wrong She done put me out of doors But I even ain't got no home as it goes Bring me my shotgun Oh Lord, and a pocket full of shells Yes, if I don't get some competition You know there's gotta be trouble here Yes, you know that my momma told me The day that I left the door She said, "I ain't gonna have bad luck, son And I don't care where you go" Just bring me my shotgun Boy, you can bring just one or two shells Yes, if I don't get some competition You know there's gotta be trouble here I'm gonna play it just a minute right now Well, I cried, "Bye-bye, baby You know you done me wrong" I'm gonna take my little shotgun now And I'm gonna carry it back home I said one in the morning I'm gonna carry my shotgun home Yes, I figure the best thing I can do Why did I leave that woman alone?
