[The Highwaymen - Shotgun Talking Blues lyrics]
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
Early one mornin' when the
Crickets was peepin'
And all the squares was in bed sleepin'
I brought you home to your daddy's pad
And there on your porch was your mean
Old dad just sittin' there
Smilin' with a shotgun
Well, he stood up and smiled real slow
Said the milkman came about an hour ago
Suggested that I ought to scoot
'Cause I was standin' right where
He aimed to shoot couldn't move
He pulled the triggеr i moved
You got a mean, mean daddy
(A mеan, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy
(A mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
Then he smiled and got to his feet
Said, "There's someone here I'd
Like you to meet"
Out stepped your mama and the preacher man
And in just one minute we was hand in hand
Married had a lovely ceremony
Fourteen carat ring and twelve gauge shotgun
Well, married life was going alright
'Til a little stranger come into sight
Now, I haven't been to sleep
Since I don't know when
I'm a-walkin' the floor at 2 am
My heart full of love
My hands full of wet baby
Gonna be some changes made
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now (One more time)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean dad)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
Early one mornin' when the
Crickets was peepin'
And all the squares was in bed sleepin'
I brought you home to your daddy's pad
And there on your porch was your mean
Old dad just sittin' there
Smilin' with a shotgun
Well, he stood up and smiled real slow
Said the milkman came about an hour ago
Suggested that I ought to scoot
'Cause I was standin' right where
He aimed to shoot couldn't move
He pulled the triggеr i moved
You got a mean, mean daddy
(A mеan, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
You got a mean, mean daddy
(A mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (A mean, old man)
You got a mean, mean daddy
But I'm your daddy now
Then he smiled and got to his feet

You got a mean, mean daddy
You got a mean, mean daddy

You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean daddy)
You got a mean, mean daddy (Mean, mean dad)
You got a mean, mean daddy
