Lyrics Junco Partner - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

Junco Partner

Down the road came a Junco Partner
Boy, he was loaded with misery
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
And he wobbled all over the street
Had to do six months
(You mean?)
Yeah, it wasn’t easy
He was no sinner and he’d done no crime
He just shot up a Coojun hat band
He was in it at the very time
Well, when I’d had plenty money
It wasn’t funny
I could get honey
I had friends all over town
Now I ain’t got no money and I ain’t got no honey
And, and my best friend done put me down
Well, I’d done pawn my watch and pistol
I’m gonna pawn my key and chain
I woulda pawned my Ticco Bello
She was mellow as a shallow
But the poor gal wouldn’t sign her name
Give me water, water, water, water, water
When I’m thirsty
Agua, agua, agua
Water’s a mighty good drink when you’re dry
Give me kindness when I’m sickly
I wanna go to heaven when I die
Well, if I had a million dollars
Just one million dollars to call my own
I’d buy me a land geared tractor
I’d raise my own tobacco on my tobacco farm
Junco Junco, Junky Junco partner
He was loaded way out with misery
He woulda pawned his Ticco Bello
She was mellow as a shallow
But the poor gal wouldn’t sign her name
Ah Junky Junco, Junky Junco partner
