16 Shells From A 30 - 06 Lyrics - It's A Mystery - Bob Seger

Plugged 16 shells from a 30-6 

And the black crow flew through a hole in the sky 

And I spent all my buttons on an old pack mule 

And I made me a ladder from a pawn shop marimba 

And I leaned it up against a dandelion tree 

I leaned it up against a dandelion tree 

Leaned it up against a dandelion tree 

Well, I cooked them feathers on the iron spit 

And I filled me a sachel full of old pig corn 

And I beat me a Billy from an old French horn 

And I kicked that mule to the top of the tree 

Kicked that mule to the top of the tree 

Blew me a hole 'bout the size of a kickdrum 

And I cut me a switch from a long branch elbow

I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6 

Whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6 

Well, I slept in the hotter of a dry creek bed 

And I tore out the buckets from a red corvette 

Tore out the buckets from a red corvette 

Lionel, Dave and the butcher made three 

You got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinny bone tree 

With the strings of a Washburn stretched like a clothesline 

You know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole 

Me and that mule scrambled right through the hole 

I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6 

Whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6

Now I hold him prisoner in a Washburn Jail 

And I strapped it on the back of my old kick mule 

Strapped it on the back of my old kick mule 

Bang on the strings just to drive him crazy 

And I strum it loud just to rattle his cage 

Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 

Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 

Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 

I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6 

Whittle you into kindlin' 

Black crow, 16 shells from a 30-6 

30-6, 6
