Shoot-Out On The Plantation

Artists : Leon Russell : Shoot-Out On The Plantation

Junior and the drummer are fighting
About a woman in the neighborhood
The drummer never hit a bad lick in his life
And Junior never hit any good
The colonel said that women are for lovin'
Not fightin'
But that didn't clear the air
'Cause Junior's still living
In the blackboard jungle
With his Elvis Presley hair

The drummer got the drum
The colonel got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people have to hurt somebody
The firewater's not the villain
The last one to kiss
And the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friends
Is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Heaven help Mr Swan

And the cold steel blade is shinin'
Enough to cause your blood to freeze
But the drummer is drummin'
A Rolling Stones number
On Junior's head and on his knees
Oklahoma's lonesome cowboys are turned on in
Tinseltown
And I knew there'd be some camera's rolling
If Andy was a-standin' around

The drummer got the drum
The colonel got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people have to hurt somebody
The firewater's not the villain
The last one to kiss
And the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friends
Is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Heaven help Mr Swan

The last one to kiss
And the first to shoot
And stabbin' your friends
Is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Heaven help Mr Swan
