Hugh Laurie - Junco Partner lyrics

Way down the road came a poor little junco
He was loaded as can be he was knocked out
Knocked out and loaded but he was singing
This song to me

Well, he said six month's
That ain't no sentence he said one year
That ain't no time i know boys
Boys in Angola but doing one year out of 99
When the poor boy had (When the poor boy had)
Plenty of money (Plenty of money)
He had friends (He had friends)
All over town (All over the town)
Well, now he's broke down
Broke down and busted and there ain't no
Friends to be found

Well, the poor boy pawn his silver pistol
So he could buy buy a diamond ring
So he could wed the woman he was loving
But that poor girl wouldn't sign her name

Said give him whiskey (Give him whiskey)
When he gets thirsty (When he gets thirsty)
Give him water (Give him water)
When he gets dry (When he gets dry)
Give him attention when he gets sickly
Give him a graveyard oh, when he dies
Yeah, down the road came a Junco Partner
He was loaded, loaded as can be
When he was knocked out
Knocked out and loaded but he was singing
This song to me yeah, he was singing
This song to me
