Testo della canzone Run Joe (Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five), tratta dall'album Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5
Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe
(Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe)
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe
(Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe, Lowe)
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Hey, the good lips o' boys
Hey Lord, me child
What are the policeman doin' on the premises?
Child, he tryin' to catch up with somebody
Hey Lord, child, the donkey want water
I think I better pound the plantain in the mortar, child
I'ma tell 'em all about it, child
Moe and Joe ran a candy store
Tellin' fortunes behind the door
Cop grabbed Moe and as Joe ran out
Brother Moses began to shout
(Run, Joe)
Anyone at the door?
(Run, Joe)
The man, he won't let me go
(Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can
(Run, Joe)
The police holdin' me hand
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Ask Juanita to stand me bail
Don't want to sleep in this rotten jail
Hide the crystal ball by the fence
So they won't find no evidence
When you reach home, get in the bed
Call the doctor and tie your head
Let Juanita invent a lie
Got to have a good alibi
(Run, Joe)
Anyone at the door?
(Run, Joe)
The man, he won't let me go
(Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can
(Run, Joe)
The police holdin' me hand
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Get the mouthpiece to talk for me
They'll sure give me the third degree
When they take me before the sarge
I am going to deny the charge
When the judge ask me how I plead
"Not guilty, sir, most decidedly"
You can see, judge, at a glance
I'm a victim of circumstance
(Run, Joe)
Anyone at the door?
(Run, Joe)
The man, he won't let me go
(Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can
(Run, Joe)
The police holdin' me hand
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
I'll be home by the break of day
If the judge believe what I say
If he don't, I'll be lookin' cute
Behind the bars, with me striped suit
(Run, Joe)
Anyone at the door?
(Run, Joe)
The man, he won't let me go
(Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can
(Run, Joe)
The police holdin' me hand
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Mama told me not long ago
To keep 'way from that worthless Joe
If I heard what me mama say
I wouldn't be in this mess today
(Run, Joe)
Anyone at the door?
(Run, Joe)
The man, he won't let me go
(Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can
(Run, Joe)
The police holdin' me hand
Don't you hear what I told you?
(Run, Joe)
I done warned you and scold you
(Run, Joe)
Don't let policeman hold you
(Run, Joe)
Didn't your mama done told you?
(Run, Joe)
Yeah (Run, Joe)
The police, he man, he catchin' up with Joe
(Run, Joe)
Run, Joe (Run, Joe)
Speed him up, Joe, he come to gaining on you, child
(Run, Joe)
Hey, Lord, child, you better come on, child
(Run, Joe)
You better catch up, child
(Run, Joe)
