Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down the road came a-Junco Partner
Boy, he was loaded as can be
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
He was a-wobblin' all over the street
[Verse 2]
Singing six months ain't no sentence
And one year ain't no time
I was born in Angola
Serving fourteen to ninety-nine
[Verse 3]
Well, I wish I had me one million dollars
One million to call my own, call my own
I would raise me, I say grow for me, baby
Raise me a tobacco farm
[Verse 4]
Take a walk, take a walk
Junco Partner
Hey, don't bother me
[Verse 5]
Well, a-when I had me a great deal of money
Yeah and a-mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends just putting me down
[Verse 6]
So now I got to, got to pawn my ratchet and pistol
Yeah, I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain, chain, chain
I would have pawned my sweet Gabriella
But the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name
[Verse 7]
Down the road, down the road (Down the road, down the road)
Came a-Junco Partner, Partner, Partner
Boy, he was loaded as I've ever seen
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded, loaded, loaded, loaded, loaded
He was a-wobblin' all over the street
So
[Verse 8]
Take a walk (Take a walk, take a walk)
I can't walk
[Verse 9]
Down the road (Down the road, down the road)
A-came a-Junco Partner (Junco, Junco Partner)
"Hey, mister!" he called out to me
And it was three things he shouted
Singing, singing cocaine got me jittering, go
[Verse 10]
Ow!
Junco Partner
[Verse 11]
Well, I'm down, yes, I'm getting thirsty
Pour me mighty good beer when I'm dry
Just, just give me whiskey when I'm thirsty
Oh, give me headstone when I die
Down the road
