I'm gonna get my 32-20, my baby she ridin' around in a V8 Ford
Lord, I'm gonna get my 32-20, my little girl ridin' around in a V8 Ford
Well, you know it musta been a while ago, man, somebody went out my backdoor
That's the reason I carry my 32-20, that the reason I carries it ev'ryday
Lord, that's the reason I carry my 32-20, that's the reason I carries it ev'ryday
Well now, you know how she been runnin' around here, hmm,
I'd a-swear somebody gonna fade away
Lord, I got a lil' into trouble, down on Mr. Stovall's place
Lord, I have got in a little trouble, way down on Mr. Stovall's place
Well now, you know my baby she been runnin' around here ridin',
and I had to sit down and change my ways
I got a pretty little thing, livin' down by
Frairs Point
I got a pretty little thing, she's livin' down on Friars Fairs town
Now you know the reason I carry that 32-20, man, I don't want my little baby ridin' around
Play that thing boy!
Well that's why I tote my 32-20, little gal, ev'rywhere I go
Yeah, that's why I tote my 32-20, baby, most ev'rywhere I go
Well now, you know I'm tired of my baby runnin' around here ridin', man, down in a V8 Ford
