Lyrics Mean, Mean Son of a Gun - Johnny Horton
(Barry,
Bentler,
Davis)
I′m
a
guy
that
likes
his
fun
And
when
I
fight,
you'd
better
run
I′m
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I'm
goin'
down
in
a
middle
of
town
I′m
goin′
to
shoot
the
first
man
down
I'm
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
My
skin
is
hot
as
leather
I′m
as
tough
as
any
man
When
I
have
to
shave
myself,
I
use
an
old
tin
can
I
wash
my
face
in
boilin'
wax
and
scrub
myself
with
gunny
sacks
I′m
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
Refrain:
I'm
mean
- I′m
mean
- I'm
mean
I'm
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I
was
raised
on
tiger′s
milk
I
drink
corn
liquor
and
I
smoke
corn
silk
I′m
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I
chew
up
tin
and
I
spit
out
nails
Sleep
on
snakes
with
ten-foot
tails
I'm
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I
started
feelin′
frisky
And
I
danced
the
other
night
I
fell
so
good,
I
took
my
gun
and
shot
out
ev'ry
light
Now
the
Sheriff
said,
get
out
off
town
Take
him
six
feet
under
ground
I′m
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
Refrain:
I
throwed
my
saddle
on
a
grizzly
bear
Then
I
crawled
bare-handed
in
his
mountain
lair
I'm
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I
cut
my
hair
on
a
choppin′
block
And
when
I
chopped,
the
mountains
rocked
I'm
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
I
tangled
with
a
wild
cat,
just
to
proof
that
I
was
stout
Reached
down
his
throat
and
grabbed
his
tail,
then
turned
him
inside
out
Where
I
was
raised,
it's
so
darn
tough
I
had
to
leave,
it
got
so
rough
I′m
a
mean,
mean,
mean
son
of
a
gun
