I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Put on your red dress
And then you go downtown now
I said, Buy yourself a shotgun now
We're going to break it down baby now
We're going to load it up baby now
Oh can you shoot 'em 'fore they run now

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

Put on your high heel shoes
I said we're going down here listen to 'em play the blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes

I said, Shotgun!
Shoot 'em 'fore they run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the dirty now
Hey

I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
I said it's twine time
Hey, look at that

Great song, but had to check to see if my headphones were on the fritz - they weren't. Either a bad recording, or bad source then.

You don't say?

I always wondered who did this song. Cool. Awesome sax licks.
I do so love this!!! We used to go dancing every Fri and Sat night and this always got played. (It was a radio hit back then)
i call shotgun on the soultrain........cool
I think I used to think this was a young Stevie Winwood!

Hm.

An 8 just the same.

A bunch of us went to a Foreigner concert (i know, don't ask) just to hear that Sax solo. We rushed the stage just as Junior started to wail. And got dragged backwards out of the show by security while Junior did his thing. Ahhhhh memories.

Come on, Bill........it's not as funky but "What Does It Take to Win Your Love" was a great, soulful song, too...........great sax!
JJ on bass.

Never tired of dancing to it. Has withstood the test of time. Classic in all respects.
Love Jr. Walker, but I never liked this song. Go figger....
One sure floorfiller at the time!

This is what's missing from our current musical landscape - just funky and soulful and great! Hate to admit I had the 45..............
Getting my funky butt in gear today..
Yeah this is cool
Still gives me shivers,outstanding sound on vinyl.
I am back in high school! Great song.
Who gave this a 1? Am upping my 9 to a 10.
Whew.... finally something more like music to my ears. I feel like I've had industrial strength Draino(with a beat) pouring into my head for a few songs here.
Soul sax perfection. Living proof that Motown wasn't all cookie-cutter assembly-line music; the All Stars were a self-contained band with an authentic gutbucket sound. Honk honk! It should be pointed out that this upload of "Shotgun" was drawn from this (definitive) collection... ...and not the one pictured.
Can't stop snapping my fingers!
