Quick Joey Small (run Joey Run) - Ohio Express
[1] 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 --)
