Ginger Joe Songtext
von Moriarty

Listen people and you will know
The man who had it all and let it go
Listen people and let us tell
You how he rose and how he fell
Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen
He turned into something he shouldn't have been
He was a man who couldn't stand still
Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal

Ginger Joe used to have a life
Ginger Joe used to have a wife
Ginger Joe gave it all away
For a smoking gun on a rainy day

Ginger Joe used to have a name
Ginger Joe used to play the game
Ginger Joe's slipping on a slope
His life's slinging on a rope
Nothing will ever ever be the same


Ginger Joe used to be a star "Hey Ginger, Hey Ginger"
Ginger Joe used to drive a car "Hey Ginger, Hey Ginger "
Ginger's life was a Christmas Carol "Hey Ginger"
Ginger's feather's they are full of tar "Hey Ginger"

Ginger Joe used to pray the Lord
But Ginger, he's sleeping on a board
Ginger Joe used to have a home
With a Ginger dog stucking on a bone

Ginger's life was nothing but a lie
Ginger he didn't like the truth
Ginger Joe wish he'd never die
Ginger is paying for his youth

Listen people and you will know
The man who had it all and let it go
Listen people and let us tell
You how he rose and how he fell
Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen
He turned into something he shouldn't have been
He was a man who couldn't stand still
Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal
