Quick Joey Small

Quick Joey Small went over the wall

With a ball and a chain behind him

Quick Joey Small went over the wall

Send the dogs right out to find him

In a striped prison suit with no room to move

He headed for the highway

With his chain still dragging, he thumbed down a wagon

Said, will you're going my way, and they say now

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail

The sheriff got a shotgun, he do

He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true

He also got a blackjack, he's mad

He'd bust your head with one wack, here I go

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail

The sweet Mary Jane was going insane

When she heard of Joey's jail break

But she knew all the while 'cause she sent him a file

Baked inside a fudge cake

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail

Sheriff Jack Banes was light on brains

But he knew one thing for sure

When he took something tough and a pair of handcuffs

And headed straight for Mary Jane's door, and you say now

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, the hounds are on your trail

Jump up, jump up

Run Joey, Joey run, run, they're gonna send you back to jail
