[Jukebox-list] BUBBA SHOT THE JUKEBOX LYRICS

[Ed Baptista]

I like this song, and have put the 45 into many jukeboxes....

We were all down at Margie's bar 
Telling stories if we had one
Someone fired the old jukebox up
The song sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose 
>From the pain the song was inflicting
And all at once he jumped to his feet 
Just like somebody kicked him

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night

Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
So we did not draw an easy breathe 
Until he laid that colt on the table
He hung his head till the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of Margie's
Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son"
"Know damn well what the charge is."

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
well He shot the juke box last night

Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
Shook his head said, "Bubba Boy,"
"You was always a dense one."
Reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claiming
Bubba hollered,out"Reckless! Hell!" 
"I hit just where I was aiming."

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
well He shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Well he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was justifiable homicide
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night

Finally the tables have turned and I feel I have some advice for Ron Rich!    
Based on his comment here:

>   I then took the amp home, removed the cover over the outputs, and saw a 
bullet lodged in one of the output transistors.
>   I had a call on the same phono the next week--the paper $ acceptor was bad. 
We looked for the bullet hole, which was very difficult to find as the bullet 
had entered at an angle, where the lower door met the cabinet

I'd *highly* recommend avoiding performing any further service at that location.   
Who'd have thought being a jukebox repairman would mean the risk of getting 
caught in the crossfire?

Makes me think of a song I have the title strip for but have not yet heard 
called "Bubba Shot the Jukebox".

Maybe I'm a bit strange, but having a Wurlitzer with a bullet hole in it just 
has to be a good conversation starter.    I hate to be so morbid, but it makes 
you wonder - did some poor sod get the worst of that bullet, or was someone 
specifically aiming for the juke after some smart aleck played "Achy Breaky 
Heart" for the fourteenth time????
