QUICK JOEY SMALL
Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus - 1968


Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a ball an' a chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Send the dogs right out to find him.

In a striped prision suit with no room to move 
He headed for the highway
With his chain still dragin' 
He thumbed down a wagon said Well you're goin my way.
And they say now

Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.

Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true.

He's also got a blackjack, he's mad 
He'd bust your head with one wack,
Here I go now.

Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail.

Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane 
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew all the while 'cause 
She sent him a file 
Baked inside a fudge cake.

Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.

Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains
But he knew one thing for sure 
He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs
And headed straight for Mary Jane's door

Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.

Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.
