The Kingston Trio – Run Joe A folk gem by the Kingston Trio, couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online so I wrote it down by ear. Since it's sung in an accent, I couldn't get all the words clear. Feel free to comment for any suggestions on the lyrics. CAPO I Em Lai lai lai loway loway 3x G D Moe and Joe run a country store G D G Telling fat on behind the door G D That ram more as Joe run out G D G Running more he begins to shout Chorus: G D Run Joe, there’s a man at the door, run G D Joe, the money won’t let me go run G C Joe, run as fast as you can, run D G Joe, police’s holding me hand Em Lai lai lai loway loway 2x G D Good day Juanita get into bed G D G Call a doctor and tie your head G D Get a lawyer to stand me bail G D G I don’t want to sleep in this rotten jail Chorus Em Lai lai lai loway loway 2x G D When they take me before the tarch G D G I am going to be ninety charge G D If I don’t I’ll be looking good G D G Behind the bars with me stripy suit Chorus Em Lai lai lai loway loway 2x G D When the judge asks me how I plea G D G Not guilty sir most decisively G D You can see just at a glance G D G I’m a victim of circumstance Chorus Em Lai lai lai loway loway 2x G D Me mommy told me not long ago G D G To keep away from that rotten Joe G D If I do what me mommy say G D G I wouldn’t be in this mess today Chorus Em Police man is catching up the Joe Joe run too slow Lai lai lai loway loway 3x Low
