JACKNIFE BEAT
Words and music by Rory Gallagher

Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to

Don’t you maybe
That just won’t do
You say I’m crazy
But this music’s got me feelin’ good

I know it’s fever
I don’t need a cure
You’re the doctor
I’m your patient that’s for sure
I’m your patient that’s for sure

Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You’ll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes

It’s too late baby, what do you do
Hear it baby (???)
Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You’ll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes
You know it’s creeping up on you

Skat

We got that Jacknife beat
A killer of a backbeat
Sounds like an ice truck 
Rolling down a back street

Yeh..We got the whole thing going like a pneumatic drill
The guitar man’s playing like he’s fit to kill   oh yeh

We got that Jacknife beat
A killer of a backbeat
Siphon off the syrup
Let it take a back seat
What’s cooking in the kitchen has boiled to the brim
What’s brewing in the basement
Is bound to over spill  oh yeh


Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to

Don’t you maybe
That just won’t do
You say I’m crazy
But this music’s got me feelin’ good


Got a fever
I don’t need a cure
You’re the doctor
I’m your patient that’s for sure
I’m your patient that’s for sure
