Hayloft (Live) Lyrics

[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

[Verse 1]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Well, it just started in the hay (loft)
With his long-johns on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay
Young lovers and they are not sleeping
Young lovers in the hay (loft)
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)

[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

[Verse 2]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Well, it just started in the hay
With his longjohns on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
Young lovers with their legs tied up in love
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off

[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
Ga-ga-ga-ga

[Outro]
Thanks again, merci beaucoup
Thanks for taking time out of your day on this afternoon, early evening, coming out to this show
I know you guys are all very- people in demand, I can tell just by looking at you
There are other people in the world that are not here that need you in their lives, and so
For you to neglect them and come to us today is very flattering and we appreciate it, and
Again, thanks to the fine establishment of the Apple store and the outfit of iTunes for including us in your ongoings, and
We can't wait to come back to this neck of the woods, we're coming to Oceaga, not so long from [?]
I hope to see you there, if not, that's okay, this experience unto itself is enough to fulfull- to fulfill our appetite for many moons to come
I can't speak English nor French, so, on that note, farewell
But I can speak the universal language of music, so there

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
