Junco Partner - Live

Lyrics

Oh down the road come poor little junco
 Boy, he was loaded as he could be
 The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded
 And he was wobbling all over the street
 I heard him singing six months ain't no sentence
 He said one year was not no time
 Said he had friends still in Angola
 Serving from fourteen to ninety nine
 You know when he had plenty of money
 He had a friend all over town
 Since he been broke, scraggly and hungry
 Not a single friend can be found
 Well, the poor man pawned his watch and pistol
 Oh he pawned his diamond ring
 He tried to pawn the woman he was loving
 But the poor girl couldn't sign her name
 She said give him water when he get thirsty
 Tell him that water is mighty fine when your dry
 Give him a tincture when he gets sickly
 Give him the graveyard then if he dies
 Oh down the road come poor little junco
 Boy, he was loaded as he could be
 The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded
 And he's wobbling all over the street
 Well the poor man sung six months ain't no sentence
 One year was not no time
 Said he had friends still in Angola
 Serving from fourteen to ninety nine
 Well, the poor man pawned his watch and pistol
 Yes he pawned his diamond ring
 He tried to pawn the woman he was loving
 But the poor girl couldn't sign her name
 She said give him water when he get thirsty
 Tell him that water is mighty fine when your dry
 Give him a tincture when he gets sickly
 Give him the graveyard in case he dies
 Give him the graveyard then if he dies
 Give him the graveyard in case he dies
