Jeannie Needs A Shooter
Intro: E A B
EI was boArn down by tEhe river where the dirty water flows
And the colAd wind cut throuEgh me; it cut right through my clothes
And the angAer and theE yearning, like fever in my veins
ESet the fire Aburning E
She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line
From the first time I laid eyes on her I know that she`d be mine
Her father was a lawman--he swore he`d shoot me dead
`Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I`d haver her like I said
Chorus:
EJeannieB needs a Ashooter, shooEter like me
EJeannieB needs a shooter
EJeannieB needs a Ashooter, shooteEr on her side
E B Intro
Jeannie needs a shooter
We met down by the river on the final day in May
And when I leaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away
I drew out all my money and together we did vow
To meet that very evening, and get away somehow
Chorus
The night was cold and rainy down by the borderline
I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind
As I lay there in the darkness with a pistol by my side
Jeannie and her father rode off into the night
Jeannie needs a shooter
