(Papa’s got ‘is gun on you) When I was young my ma said ta me “yer gonna meet a man an’ be his bride” Now whoever thought that YOU would be So lucky as to be my pride? Gimme a kiss, gimme a hug We’z gonna git hitched cuz we’z in luv Don’t try ta run an’ don’t try ta hide Cuz papa’s got ‘is gun on you (whoa whoa) Ya won’t really gain cuz I got a ball-n-chain Wrapped around yer purdy little toe (whoa whoa) Don’t tell me maybe gonna make us some babies An’ papa’s got ‘is gun on you Now I’m spit shined an’ spiffied up To go traipsin’ down that aisle of furever Say them words, say ‘em loud ‘nuff to be heard Ya know, for worse or for better? (wutever) Gimme a kiss, gimme a hug We’z gonna git hitched cuz’ we’z in luv Don’t try ta run an’ don’t try ta hide Cuz papa’s got ‘is gun on you …Now three days later I’m still waitin’ at the altar Yer a slick one I should say You said you just needed ta step outside This was an awful time to take a ride I wish you’d come back an’ make me yer bride Cuz papa’s got ‘is gun on you I wish you’d come back cuz I miss ya hun, Papa’s already reloadin’ his gun And I’m in tears cuz this aint no fun (I’ve never waited this long for anyone!) Gimme a kiss, gimme a hug We’z gonna git hitched cuz we’z in luv Don’t try ta run an’ don’ try ta hide Cuz papa’s got ‘is gun on you.

I love this one, Gayle. Talk about a tune, I was almost singing this as I read it. (lol) If you get a minute, check out my poem "Moonshiner's Ditty" kind of goes with this one. Charlie
