Injurin' Joe Songtext

von Ray Stevens

What he does for a livin'? Nobody knows
He aint got no job, he just comes an' goes
He's as mean as a snake and twice as low
Aint for nuthin', they call him Injurin' Joe

Yeah, he's a cold blooded killer
He'll break you in half
You can beg for mercy
But he'll just laugh
When it comes to evil, he's a pro
Watch out!
For Injurin' Joe

Injurin' Joe
Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle
When he grabs ya' well he won't let go
'Till it thunders

Well ya' look up "mean" in a dictionary
And there's his picture, and it's mighty scary
He'll hold a grudge 'till the July snows
Don't mess with Injurin' Joe

Yeah he's a real hard case
He's a sack full of nails
He was raised on trouble
He was born in jail
And if ya cross him
He'll plant ya' six feet in the ground
Watch out!
Injurin' Joe's in town

Injurin' Joe
Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle
When he grabs ya' well he won't let go
'Till it thunders

Now don't let'im get'cha
'Cause he'll sure do you harm
He'll gouge out yer' eyes
He'll tear off yer' arms
And he'll steal anything that aint nailed down
Lord have mercy, Injurin' Joe's in town

Injurin' Joe
Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle
When he grabs ya' well he won't let go
'Till it thunders
