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
Singing 6 months ain`t no sentence
Yeah, and one year ain`t no time
I was born in Angola
Serving 14 to 99
Well I wish I had me one million dollars
Oh, one million to call my own
I would raise me, and say, "grow for me baby"
Raise me a tobacco farm
Take a walk, Take a walk, Junco Partner
Well, when I had me a great deal of money
Yeah, I had mighty good things all over town
Now I ain`t got no more money
All of my good friends they`re putting me down
So now I gotta pawn my ratchet and pistol
Yeah I`m gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my sweet Gabriella
But the smart girl she wouldn`t sign her name
(repeat first verse twice)
Well I`m down, yes I`m getting thirsty
Pour me out a good beer, when I`m dry
Just, just give me whisky, when I`m thirsty
Give me headstone when I die.
Down the road.
