about

Where do we start to explain the story behind the enigmatic “Katie Shoot The Gun”? Well this is another human story about a guy who met a gal and then she manoeuvred him into a corner and fired him from his job!

A tale that is very close to the truth (only the names have been changes to protect the innocent) in which “Katie” shows her ruthless side as she dispatches her hapless victim on behalf of “The Man” with the panache of a hired gun (wo)mam.

lyrics

Katie Shoot The Gun

Katie shoot the gun, oh baby
Katie shoot the gun, ah ha
Pull the trigger on, my baby
On the innocent one uh huh
Load the chamber with the bullet
Pull the trigger and...
Oh Katie shoots the gun

Katie shoot the gun, oh baby
Katie shoot the gun, ah ha
He never hurt no one no way
So why do you hit and run, uh huh?
You never think of consequences
It’s indiscriminate
When Katie shoots the gun

But when Jimmy tried to speak out
Oh oh oh oh that’s when he knew
That his number was up
And when Jimmy tried to face her
Oh oh oh oh that’s when he knew
That Katie’s got a gun

But when I left Jimmy gasping
Oh oh oh oh that when he knew
His life would slip away
And when he sought retribution
Oh oh oh oh that’s when he knew
That Katie would have her way

Katie shoot the gun, oh baby
Katie shoot the gun, ah ha
The blood’s on everyone oh baby
When you shot that gun
There’ll be no trial for Katie
‘Cause she was just the front
For “The Man” that owns the gun.

Stompin' on Spiders England, UK

Stompin' on Spiders is a musical collective formed at a Blues festival in April 2009.

A "new tradition" is how one music journalist described Stompin' on Spiders; "a radical mix of stripped-back blues and roots inspired by international events". ... more
