Junco Partner

Oh, down the road came a poor little junko
Boys, he was loaded as he could be
The poor man was knocked out, knocked out and loaded
And he was wobblin' all over the street

I heard him singing six months with no sentence
He said one year was not no time
He said he had friends still in Angola
Servin' from fourteen to ninety-nine

You know when he had plenty of money
He had a friend all over town
Since he been broke, ragged and hungry
Not a single friend can be found

Oh well, the poor man pawned his watch and pistol
Oh, he pawned his diamond ring
He tried to pawn the woman he was lovin'
But the poor girl couldn't sign her name

She said give him water when he gets thirsty
Tell him that water is mighty fine when you're dry
Give him attention when he gets sickly
Give him the graveyard, that is, if he dies

But the poor girl couldn't sign her name

She said give him water when he gets thirsty
Tell him that water is mighty fine when you're dry
And give him attention when he gets sickly
Give him the graveyard in case he dies

Or give him the graveyard, that's if he dies
Or give him the graveyard in case he dies
