Lyrics
Shotgun Willie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Bitin' a bullet, pullin' out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie has got all of his family there
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say
You can't play music if you don't know nothin' to play
<repeat 1st verse>
Well, John T. (Fours)? was workin' with the Klu Klux Klan
The six foot five John T was a hell of a man
Made a lot of money sellin' sheets on the family plan
<repeat 1st verse>
