Lyrics for Jesus Was a Cross Maker by Zevon Warren:
| | | Artist: | Zevon Warren |

I was born down by the river where the dirty water
flows
And the cold wind cut through me; it cut right through my clothes
And the anger and
the yearning, like fever in my veins
Set the fire burning
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
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter like me
Jeannie needs a
shooter
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 meet that very evening, and get away
somehow
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter like me
Jeannie needs a shooter
Jeannie
needs a shooter
Shooter on her side
Jeannie needs a shooter
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
