Junco Partner Songtext
von Louis Jordan

Down the road came a junco partner
Boy, he was loaded with misery
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
And he wobbled all over the street
Had to do six months
You mean?
Yeah, it wasn′t easy
He was no sinner and he done no crime
He just shot up a cooch and hat band
He was in it at the very time

Well, when I had plenty money
It wasn't funny
I could get honey
I had friends all over town
Now I ain′t got no money
And I ain't got no honey
And, and my best friend done put me down


Well, I done pawned my watch and pistol
I'm gonna pawn my key and chain
I woulda pawned my Tickle Bella
She was mellow as a cello
But the poor gal wouldn′t sign her name

Give me water, water, water, water, water when I′m thirsty
Agua, agua, agua
Water's a mighty good drink when you′re dry
Give me kindness when I'm sickly
I wanna go to heaven when I die

Well, if I had a million dollars
Just one million dollars to call my own
I′d buy me a land gear tractor
I'd raise my own tobacco on my tobacco farm

Junco, junco, junky junco partner
He was loaded way out with misery
He woulda pawned his Tickle Bella
She was mellow as a cello
But the poor gal wouldn′t sign her name

Now junky junco, junky junco partner
