Lyrics

This is a story about a man
Who builds his house on another man's land
I saw what happened an' began to shout (Run, Joe)
No time to shut your door (Run, Joe)
No time to tie your shoelace (Run, Joe)
Run with your pants in your hand (Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can (Run, Joe)
Joe should drop, him couldn't run
Joe buck him toe, him tumble down
I saw what happen an' began to shout (Run, Joe)
Oh, di man back a you (Run, Joe)
Man, he catch up on you (Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can (Run, Joe)
Run with your pants in your hand (Run, Joe)
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe
Joe should drop, him couldn't run
Joe buck him toe, him tumble down
I saw what happen an' began to shout (Run, Joe)
Oh, di man back a you (Run, Joe)
Man, he catch up on you (Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can (Run, Joe)
Run with your pants in your hand
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe
Joe should drop, him couldn't run
Joe buck him toe, him tumble down
I saw what happen an' began to shout (Run, Joe)
Oh, di man back a you (Run, Joe)
Man, he catch up on you (Run, Joe)
Run as fast as you can (Run, Joe)
Run with your pants in your hand (Run, Joe)
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe (Run, run, run)
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe (Run, run, run)
Run, Joe; Run, Joe; Run, Joe (Run, run, run)
