I am as white as white can be
But I am different from my family tree
Can't bear to know what they might have done
With a black man and a shotgun
I want to dance
The black man makes me want to dance
Give him that shotgun he can make us dance
He'll make you jump if he gets half a chance
I am nervous and shy as can be
When I am hangin' with a black family
I think they're lookin' at what history's done
They see a black man and a shotgun
Please make me dance
Shake my bones with some black romance
Remake my ancestors to happenstance
You take the shotgun I just wanna dance
The white can take the black spirit free
He knows just how to turn it into big money
But inside he must be on the run
From a black man and a shotgun
He'd better dance
He'd better let the black man make him dance
Give up his shotgun and his white trance
He'd better jump if he gets half a chance
Dance, dance, dance
Give up that shotgun and dance
Dance, dance, dance
