paroles de chanson Confrontation - Live - Carole King

Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation

You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand

Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
Yes he did, yes he did
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now from his bulldog mouth

As he led the posse south
Came the cry, we got to ride
To clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters
Oh no, no

You can't talk to a man
When he don't want to understand
Oh no, no, no, no

The account of the capture wasn't in the papers, oh no
But you know, they hanged old Smack right then instead of later
You know the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker

You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun in his hand

Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Oh Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Oh Smackwater Jack, yeah
