CLIMBED TO #25 IN 1968. LYRICS: Quick Joey Small went over the wall With a ball an' a chain behind him Quick Joey Small went over the wall Send the dogs right out to find him. In a striped prision suit with no room to move He headed for the highway With his chain still draggin' He thumbed down a wagon said Well you're goin my way. And they say now Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail Jump-up Jump-up Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail. Sheriff got a shotgun, he do He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true. He's also got a blackjack, he's mad He'd bust your head with one whack, Here I go now. Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail. Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane When she heard of Joey's jail break But she knew all the while 'cause She sent him a file Baked inside a fudge cake. Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail Jump-up Jump-up Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail. Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains But he knew one thing for sure He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs And headed straight for Mary Jane's door Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail Jump-up Jump-up Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail. Run Joey , Joey run run the hounds are on your trail Jump-up Jump-up Run Joey , Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail.

  • I believe the line is "in a stripped prison suit, with no loot to boot,

    he headed for the highway"
