She came
down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line
From
the first time I laid eyes on her
I knew
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 have her like I said
Jeannie
needs a shooter
Shooter
like me
Jeannie
needs a shooter
Shooter
on her side
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 leave
that very evening and get away somehow
Jeannie
needs a shooter
Shooter
like me
Jeannie
needs a shooter
Shooter
on her side
Jeannie
needs a shooter
The night
was cold and rainy down by the riverside
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
