Songtexte

Oh down the road come poor little junco Boy, he was loaded as he could be The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded And he was wobbling all over the street I heard him singing six months ain't no sentence He said one year was not no time Said he had friends still in Angola Serving from fourteen to ninety nine You know when he had plenty of money He had a friend all over town Since he been broke, scraggly and hungry Not a single friend can be found Well, the poor man pawned his watch and pistol Oh he pawned his diamond ring He tried to pawn the woman he was loving But the poor girl couldn't sign her name She said give him water when he get thirsty Tell him that water is mighty fine when your dry Give him a tincture when he gets sickly Give him the graveyard then if he dies Oh down the road come poor little junco Boy, he was loaded as he could be The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded And he's wobbling all over the street Well the poor man sung six months ain't no sentence One year was not no time Said he had friends still in Angola Serving from fourteen to ninety nine Well, the poor man pawned his watch and pistol Yes he pawned his diamond ring He tried to pawn the woman he was loving But the poor girl couldn't sign her name She said give him water when he get thirsty Tell him that water is mighty fine when your dry Give him a tincture when he gets sickly Give him the graveyard in case he dies Give him the graveyard then if he dies Give him the graveyard in case he dies
