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 youre goin my way.
And they say now
Refrain
Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run theyre gonna send you back to jail.
Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
Hell fill you full of lead son, its true.
Hes also got a blackjack, hes mad
Hed 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 Joeys jail break
But she knew all the while cause
She sent him a file
Baked inside a fudge cake.
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 Janes door
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 youre goin my way.
And they say now
Refrain
Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey , Joey run run theyre gonna send you back to jail.
Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
Hell fill you full of lead son, its true.
Hes also got a blackjack, hes mad
Hed 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 Joeys jail break
But she knew all the while cause
She sent him a file
Baked inside a fudge cake.
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 Janes door
