Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down the road come a junco partner
He was loaded as could be
He was knocked-out, knocked-out loaded
And he was singing his song to me
[Verse 2]
"Six months," he said, "Ain't no sentence
One year ain't no time
They got boys locked up in Angola, well
Serving one year to ninety-nine
[Verse 3]
If I had a million dollars
Let me tell you what I'd do
I would buy, buy, buy, buy the land around Angola
And plant a nice weed garden till the year two-oh-oh-two
[Verse 4]
I want whiskey, whiskey, whiskey when I'm thirsty
I want water when I'm dry
I want my lover when I'm lonely
Give me a little heroin before I die
Throw in a little cocaine before I die
On the side"
