Run Joe |
| Mo and Joe had a candy store |
| Telling fortune behind a door |
| Cops grabbed Mo and as Joe ran out |
| Brother Mo then began to shout |
| Run Joe, eh de police at de door |
| Run Joe and he won’t let me go |
| Run Joe, run as fast as you can |
| Run Joe de police holding me hang |
| Ask Juanita to stand me bail |
| Don’t want to sleep in this rotten jail |
| Hide de crystal ball by de fence |
| So dey won’t find no evidence |
| When you reach home get in de bed |
| Call a doctor and tie your head |
| Tell Juanita invent a lie |
| Got to have a good alibi |
| Go get a mouthpiece to talk for me |
| Oh, they’ll sure give me de third degree |
| When dey take me before de sarge |
| I am going to deny de charge |
| If de judge ask me how I plead |
| Not guilty sir, most decidedly |
| You can see judge at a glance |
| I’m a victim of circumstance |
| Me mommy told me not long ago |
| Boy keep away from that no good Joe |
| If I do like me momma say |
| I wouldn’t be in this trouble today |
| I’ll be home by de break of day |
| If de judge believe what I say |
| And if he don’t I’ll be looking cute |
| Behind de bars in me striped suit |
| Run Joe |
| Run Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe |
| Run Joe |
