Joe Turner, he's the man I do despise
Joe Turner the man I do despise
Goin' around trying to take men's wives
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Hope to God that he won't come back no more
Policeman, you better not let him 'round
Policeman, you better not let him 'round
If you don't arrest him, I'm gonna shoot him down
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
I drove Joe Turner, drove him from my door
May steal my good girl all I know
Oh they tell me Joe Turner's in this town
They tell me
Well they tell me Joe Turner's in this town
He's a man I hate, I don't want him hangin' around
He's a man I hate, don't want him hangin' around
If you don't arrest him, I'm gonna shoot him down
I saw Joe Turner runnin' down the road,
I saw Joe Turner
Don't care where he's headed, don't care where he goes.
And I hope to God that he won't come back no more
And I hope to God that he won't come back no more
He's here to steal my high teasin' brown
He's here to steal my high teasin' brown
If you don't arrest him, I'm gonna shoot him down
Joe Turner the man I do despise
Goin' around trying to take men's wives
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Hope to God that he won't come back no more
Policeman, you better not let him 'round
Policeman, you better not let him 'round
If you don't arrest him, I'm gonna shoot him down
