Down the road came a Junco Partner |
|
Boy, he was loaded as can be |
|
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded |
|
He was a'wobblin' all over the street |
|
Singing 6 months ain't no sentence |
|
Yeah, and one year ain't no time |
|
I was born in Angola |
|
Serving 14 to 99 |
|
Well I wish I had me one million dollars |
|
Oh, one million to call my own |
|
I would raise me, and say, "grow for me baby" |
|
Raise me a tobacco farm |
|
Take a walk, Take a walk, Junco Partner |
|
Well, when I had me a great deal of money |
|
Yeah, I had mighty good things all over town |
|
Now I ain't got no more money |
|
All of my good friends they're putting me down |
|
So now I gotta pawn my ratchet and pistol |
|
Yeah I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain |
|
I would have pawned my sweet Gabriella |
|
But the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name |
|
(repeat first verse twice) |
|
Well I'm down, yes I'm getting thirsty |
|
Pour me out a good beer, when I'm dry |
|
Just, just give me whisky, when I'm thirsty |
|
Give me headstone when I die. |
|
Down the road. |
