I was pondering a song I heard on the radio as I was driving yesterday. It was Jimi Hendrix singing about a man who shot his woman when he caught her with another man. Would anyone record that song today?
There’s also “Bring Me My Shotgun” by Lightnin’ Hopkins.

Woah, go bring me my shotgun
Oh I’m gonna start shootin again
Go bring me my shotgun
You know I just got to start shootin’ again
You know I’m gonna shoot my woman
Cause she’s foolin’ around with too many men
Yes bring me my shotgun
Yes man and a pocket full of shells
Yes go bring me my shotgun
Yes man and a pocket full of shells
Yeah you know I’m gonna kill that woman
I’m gonna throw her her in that old deep dug well
Hide her from everybody they won’t know where she at
That woman said Lightnin’ you can’t shoot me
She said now you just dare to try
I don’t take a dare from nobody
She said Lightnin’ you can’t shoot me
She said yes and you dare to try
I said the only reason I don’t shoot you little woman
My double barrel shotgun, it just won’t fire
