  • He's got 17 coon dogs out in the pen
    Ten 11 point bucks hangin' in his den
    If he ain't a'huntin' he's a'watching a show
    Teaches things about huntin' that he don't know

    And if I was a bettin' woman
    I'd lay my money down
    I'd bet he spends more time in them woods
    Than he spends in this house
    I got myself a problem I can't figure no way out
    It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin', tobacco chewin',
    No good blue tick hound

    Well, I'm sick of squirrel gravy and I'm sick of coon stew
    Fence posts, shock collars, chicken wire, too
    If he ain't a'huntin' he's out at the lake
    Suckin' on a long neck, changin' his bait

    And if I was a bettin' woman
    I'd lay my money down
    I'd bet he spends more time in them woods
    Than he spends in this house
    I got myself a problem I can't figure no way out
    It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin', tobacco chewin',
    No good blue tick hound

    Go boys

    He may as well be invisible in his Realtree overalls
    I can barely see him through the tree stand
    Seated underwear and turkey calls
    Lord help me with this problem I can't figure no way out
    It's like I'm married to a shotgun carryin',
    Tobacco chewin', no good blue tick hound Writer/s: ANGALEENA LOLETTA PRESLEY
