Gimmie A Shot
Gimmie a shot of Ezra
Gimmie a bottle o’ brew
One more day ‘till the eagle flies
And two more days ‘till he flew
Got me a check on Friday
Cashed it in the afternoon
Bought me a bottle of Ezra
Drank it all too soon
Mista can you gimmie a dolla?
Ain’t you got a bill to spare?
All I needs is a bottle
Mista don’t you even care?
Gimmie a shot of Ezra
Gimmie a bottle o’ brew
One more day ‘till the eagle flies
And two more days ‘till he flew
Said gimmie a shot
Gimmie a shot
Gimmie a shot for the blues
Gimmie a shot
Yeah gimmie a shot
Then gimmie a bottle o’ brew
Stormin’ on Monday mornin’
Rainin’ on Tuesday too
Wednesday it started floodin’
Thursday I caught me the blues
You call me at two in the mornin’
You don’t come home at all
Find you later at the barroom
Dancin’ and havin’ a ball
Gimmie a shot of Ezra
Gimmie a bottle o’ brew
One more day ‘till the eagle flies
Two more days ‘till he flew
