Lyrics

You and me and that girl from Juarez
Called herself Juanita Perez
Do you remember the second of June
Underneath the big round crescent moon
There was a crap shack down by the water
Where Samson dallies with the devil's daughter
My darling Corey is never awake
Sweet Willie dies for true love's sake
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout the good old days
Shut the door, and pull up a cat
Jawbone, jawbone, talking all night
Talking on past the dawn
Jawbone, jaw, talking on and on
Talking on and on and on
Now jawbone talks like a fevered soul
Another time sounds like rain
Ain't no saying how jawbone talks
'Cause it never sounds twice the same
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat
Jawbone sounds like a clarinet
Jawbone sounds like a drum
Jawbone sounds like a dog in heat
Or a trumpet from kingdom come
Jawbone got a thousand tricks
The most you never saw
Jawbone talk about politics
Religion and death and law
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you all the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat
Remember when we rode with Jesse James
Back when the West was young
Who's sad death Bob Ford was blamed
By the bearers of a waggin' tongue
Most of all Juanita Perez
Token of a true fine dream
All the stories jawbone tells
Always she's a central theme
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout the good old days
Shut the door, and pull up a cat
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you about the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat
