It is! I think the name of the song is "Five Pounds of Possum" but I couldn't find all the lyrics this morning. I've heard it played on bluegrass programs before...I'll go look again.

There stands in the corner with the barrel so straight
I looked out the window and over the gate
The big fat rabbits are jumpin' in the grass
Wait till they hear my old shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie, I done saw your track
Look out mister rabbbit when I cock my hammer back

Well, over on the ridge is shady park
Hickory nuts so big, you can see 'em in the dark
The big fat squirrels they scratch and they fight
I'll be on that ridge before daylight
With the shotgun boogie, all I need is one shot
Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot

"Shotgun Boogie", by Tennessee Ernie Ford
