"Mr. Charlie" lyrics

"Mr. Charlie"

I take a little powder
Take a little salt
Put it in my shotgun
I go walking

Jubba jubba, wolly bully
Looking high, looking low
Going to scare you up and shoot ya
Mister Charlie told me so

I won't even take your life
Won't even take a limb
Just unload my shotgun
Take a little skin

Jubba jubba, wolly bully
Looking high, looking low
Going to scare you up and shoot ya
Mister Charlie told me so

Well you take my silver dollar
Take those silver dimes
Fix it up together
In some alligator wine
I can hear the drums, voodoo all night long
Mister Charlie tells me
I can't do nothing wrong

Jubba jubba, wolly bully
Looking high, looking low
Going to scare you up and shoot ya
Mister Charlie told me so

Now Mister Charlie told me
Won't you like to know
Give you little warning
Before I let you go

Jubba jubba, wolly bully
Looking high, looking low
Going to scare you up and shoot ya
Mister Charlie told me so

Going to scare you up and shoot ya
Mister Charlie
Mister Charlie told me so
