Shoot Out On The Plantation - Leon Russell
Junior and the drummer are fighting
About a woman in the neighborhood
Oh the drummer never
Hit a bad lick in his life
And Junior never hit any good
Yeah the colonel said that
Women are for loving not fighting
But that didn't clear the air
'Cause Junior's still living
In the blackboard jungle
With his Elvis Presley hair
Yeah the drummer's got the drum
The colonel's got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He'd 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
Oh the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
And stabbing your friends
Is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Oh heaven help Mister Swan yeah
And the cold steel blade is shining
Enough to cause your blood to freeze
But the drummer is
Drumming a Rolling Stones' number
On Junior's head and on his knees
Oh Oklahoma's lonesome cowboys
Are turned on in Tinsel Town
I knew there'd be some cameras rolling
If Andy was standing around
Yeah the drummer's got the drum
The colonel's got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He'd better run
It's a shootout on the plantation
It's so hard to understand
Why do some people have to hurt somebody
And the cold steel blade is shining
Enough to cause your blood to freeze
But the drummer is
Drumming a Rolling Stones' number
Yeah the drummer's got the drum
The colonel's got the gun
And Junior's only got a knife
He'd 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
Oh the last one to kiss is the first to shoot
And stabbing your friends
Is such a drag to boot
It's a shootout on the plantation
Oh heaven help Mister Swan yeah
Won't somebody help me
You gotta help me help me help me
Help me help me help me
Wo help me help me
Why don't you help me
Why don't you tell me about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Won't help me help me
Ya help me
Help me help me
