Lyrics

I said (G7)shot gun.

Shoot him ’fore he run now.

Do the jerk, ba by.

Do the jerk now.

Put on your red dress

and then you go down town now.

I said buy your self a shot gun now.

We’re gon na break it down, ba by, now.

We’re gon na load it up, ba by, now.

How can you shoot him ’fore he run now?

I said Put on your high heeled shoes.

I said we’re go in’ down here lis ten to ’em play the blues.

We’re gon na dig po ta toes.

We’re gon na pick to ma toes.

I said shot gun.

Shoot him ’fore he run now.

Do the jerk, ba by.

Do the jerk now.

I said it’s cry in’ time.

Hey.

I said it’s cry in’ time.

Hey.

I said it’s cry in’ time.
