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 Plenty of money He had friends All over 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 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
