Quick Joey Small

Went A-over The Wall

With A Ball And Chain Behind Him

Quick Joey Small

Went A-over The Wall,

Sent The Dogs Right Out To Find Him

(All Right)



[2]

In A Striped Prison Suit

With No Loot, To Boot,

He Headed For The Highway

With His Chains Still Draggin?

He Thumbed Down A Wagon,

Said, "When Are You Goin? My Way?"

And They Say Now,



Chorus:

Run, Joey!, Joey, Run Run --

The Hounds Are On Your Trail! (Jump Up! Jump Out!)

Run, Joey! Joey, Run Run --

They?re Gonna Send Him Back To Jail!



Bridge:

Sheriff Got A Shotgun

(He Do)

He Fill You Full Of Lead, Son

(It?s True)

He Also Gotta Blackjack

(He?s Mad)

He Bust Your Head With One Whack

(And That?s That [?])



Run, Joey! Joey, Run Run --

The Hounds Are On Your Trail!



[3]

Sweet Mary Jane

Might?a Gone Insane

When She Heard Of Joey?s Jailbreak

But She Knew All The While,

?Cos She Sent Him A File

Baked Inside A Fudge Cake

(And They Say, Now --)



[4]

(Oh,) Sheriff Jack Banes

Wasn?t [right On?] Brains

But He Knew One Thing For Sure

He Took Some Toughs

And A Pair A? Hand Cuffs

And Heads For Mary Jane?s Door

(And They Say, Now --)
