[Chorus: Sara Watkins]
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
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu

[Verse 1: Chris Thile/Sara Watkins/Thile & Sara Watkins]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Yeah 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

[Chorus: Sara Watkins]
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
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu
[Interlude: Thile & Sara Watkins]
Hayloft
Hayloft
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu

[Chorus: Sara Watkins]
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
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu

[Verse 2: Thile/Sara Watkins/Thile & Sara Watkins]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Yeah it just started in the hay
With his long johns 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 knots
With his long tall gun, Pop went a-creeping
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off

[Chorus: Sara Watkins]
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
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu
[Chorus: Sara Watkins]
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
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu

[Outro: Thile & Sara Watkins]
Hay-loft
Hay-loft
Hay-loft
Hay-loft
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu
