Run Joe - Chuck Brown, The Soul Searchers

Moe and Joe run the video store

Selling micas behind closed doors

The cops grab Moe and as Joe runs out

Brother Moe he began to shout

Run Joe!

Hey the man’s at the door

Run Joe!

Hey man he won’t let me go

Run Joe!

Run Joe as fast as you can

Run Joe!

These police holding me hand

Hide the crystal ball by the fence

So they won’t find the evidence

Get somebody to tell a lie

Got to have me an alibi

Hurry home and get in your bed

Call the doctor and tie your head

Get somebody to call my bail

Don’t want to stay in that fucking jail

Run Joe!

Hey the man’s at the door

Run Joe!

Hey man he won’t let me go

Run Joe!

Run Joe as fast as you can

Run Joe!

These police holding me hand

When they take me before the sarge

I am going to deny that charge

When the judge ask me how I plead

Not guilty judge most decidedly

You can see judge at a glance

I’m just a victim of circumstance

Run Joe!

Hey the man’s at the door

Run Joe!

Hey man he won’t let me go

Run Joe!

Run Joe as fast as you can

Run Joe!

These police breaking me hand

Ain’t your mother done told ya?

Ain’t your mother done scold ya?

Ain’t she warned ya before Joe?

If you get caught ya run Joe

Run Joe!

Police catching up to Joe

Joe run to slow
