Hit that jive, Jack
(Note the sound of a "high five" here)
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Goin to the corner to dig the man
And I don't have time to shake your hand.
Hit that jive, Jack
(Note the sound of a "high five" here)
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Things move fast now in this land
And I don't have time to shake your hand.
Stand right down here on this here corner
While I dig the jive
If you wait here on this corner
I might give you five
Hit that jive, Jack
(Note the sound of a "high five" here)
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Time or tide waits for no man.
And I don't have time to shake your hand

This version of the song appears to be about a man telling his friend to
wait on the corner while he goes and meets a man to buy some marijuana, and
if the friend waits there on the corner until he gets back, he might give
him some. He doesn't have time to shake his friend's hand, since he is in a
hurry to meet the man about the marijuana, so he gives him a "high five",
and tells his friend to put his hand in his pocket while he is waiting.

"Jive" is also a slang term for marijuana.

This seemingly innocuous song was recorded in the 1930s by Jack Teagarden, a
Texas native and great jazz trombonist and vocalist, whose
great-grand-nephew Taylor Teagarden is currently a baseball player for the
Texas Rangers professional baseball team. Last night I was watching young
Taylor playing against the Boston Red Sox on TV.
Listening to the song, I wonder if young Taylor would be aware of the fact
that the "tea" in the song refers to marijuana? Another irony is that Jack
"Tea"garden recorded the song.
Marijuana in the 1930s seems to have been quite common in Texas , which
imported the stuff from neighboring Mexico. It was introduced to New York by
Mezz Mezzrow, another white jazz musician.
Many jazz songs recorded in the 1930s referenced marijuana, some with more
subtlety than others.

Mezz Mezzrow's autobiographical book "Really the Blues" is the story of a
young white man's fascination with black culture. Mezzrow lived in Harlem
for many years, and once, when he was arrested for possession of marijuana,
and was being sent to a "white" block of the jail, he convinced police
officials that he was black, so that he could be housed in the
then-segregated black block of the jail. The book is full of slang peculiar
to the Harlem of the 1940s.
Like many black musicians, Mezzrow moved to Paris in the 1950s, where he
spent the last 20 years of his life.

The site "

" has many country songs. You have to search by artist or
song title.
Some of the songs are copyrighted, and are not free, but many are free.
An example is one of Hank Wiliams' hits, "I Can't Help it if I'm Still in
Love with You".

Gun laws vary widely from State to State.
In a state such as Montana or Alaska, many people live in areas which are
very sparsely populated, and it is not uncommon to carry a hunting rifle in
your vehicle. Gun racks which mount in the rear window of a pickup truck are
very common.
In more populated states, such as New Jersey, it is illegal to hunt with a
rifle, because, unlike in Montana or Alaska, you are at risk of hitting a
residence or a highway full of traffic if you fire a rifle when hunting,
because the projectile from a rifle can travel a long distance. That is why
in New Jersey only shotguns using slugs can be used for hunting deer.
All states have some kind of control over what firearms you can possess, and
it is usual to get a firearms permit from the local police before you buy
firearms.
You can research state gun laws easily via the internet.
Some states allow you to carry a concealed firearm on your person, others
forbid it, except under special circumstances.
Some states prohibit carrying firearms through the state when you are only
passing through. If you were moving from Connecticut to New Hampshire, you
would have to ship your firearms to New Hampshire, because Massachusetts
forbids carrying firearms, either on your person or in a vehicle, which are
not registered in Massachusetts
At gun shows, you can buy or sell firearms without any kind of background
check.

If you are interested in the gun laws, you can easily find them on the
internet.

 1950s, where he spent the last 20 years of his life.
There was that movie with Sidney Poitier and Paul Newman jazzmen
in Paris.
