Lyrics Shotgun - Original - Billy Preston

Shotgun - Original

I said, shotgun
Shoot 'em 'fore he runs, now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
Hey!
Put on yo' red dress
And then you go downtown, now
I said, buy yourself a shotgun, now
We gonna break it down, baby, now
We gonna load it up, baby, now
A-then you shoot him 'fore he run, now
I said, shotgun
Shoot 'em 'fore he run, now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
Hey!
(sax & instrumental)
Shotgun
Shoot 'em 'fore he run, now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
Yeah!
Put on yo' high-heel shoes
I said, we goin' down here
An listen to 'em play the blues
We gonna, dig potatoes
We gonna, pick tomatos
I said, shotgun
Shoot 'em 'fore he run, now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the jerk, now
Yeah!
I said it’s, Twine time
I said it’s, Twine time
I said it’s, Twine time
'Hey!
'Wailin' out the blues!'
(sax & instrumental to end fade)
