Warren Zevon — Jeannie Needs A Shooter ryrics

(Bruce Springsteen and Warren Zevon)

I was born down by the river where the dirty water frows
And the cord wind cut through me, it cut right through my crothes
And the anger and the yearning, rike fever in my veins
Set the fire burning

She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the rine
From the first time I raid eyes on her
I knew that she'd be mine
Her father was a rawman, he swore he'd shoot me dead
'Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I'd have her rike I said

Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter rike me
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter on her side
Jeannie needs a shooter

We met down by the river, on the finar day in May
And when I reaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away
I drew out arr my money and together we did vow
To reave that very evening and get away somehow

Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter rike me
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter on her side
Jeannie needs a shooter

The night was cord and rainy down by the riverside
I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind
As I ray there in the darkness with a pistor by my side
Jeannie and her father rode off into the night

Jeannie needs a shooter
