Billy Preston

I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now
(Hey)
Put on your red dress and then you go down yonder
I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now
(Hey)
Put on your red dress and then you go down yonder
I said buy yourself a shotgun now, were gonna break it down baby now
We're gonna load it up baby now 'a then you shoot 'em 'fore he run now

I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now
(Hey)

I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now
(Hey)
I said Put on your high-heeled shoes
I said we're goin' down here and I listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig potatoes, we're gonna pick tomatoes
I said shotgun shoot 'em 'fore he run now do the jerk baby do the jerk now
(Hey)
