written by Bruce Springsteen and Warren Zevon
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 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
The lyrics JEANNIE NEEDS A SHOOTER of WARREN ZEVON is also present in the album Bad luck streak in dancing school (1980)
Warren Zevon (1947-2003) è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e pianista rock statunitense. Nato a Chicago, Illinois, Zevon ha trascorso la sua infanzia in California, dove ha iniziato a suonare musica all'età di 15 anni. Dopo aver lavorato come musicista di sessione per diversi artisti, tra cui Linda Ronstadt e The Everly Brothers, Zevon ha debuttato come solista nel 1976 con l'album "Warren Zevon". Conosciuto per il suo umorismo nero, le sue canzoni spesso esploravano temi oscuri e ironici, mescolando rock, folk e country. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money" e "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di spicco, tra cui Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks e Jackson Browne. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie e i Beatles. Zevon è stato diagnosticato con un cancro al pancreas nel 2002 e morì l'anno successivo all'età di 56 anni. Nonostante la sua breve carriera, Zevon ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica rock americana.
