Junko Partner Lyrics by Dr. John

Dr. John’s Gumbo / In the Right Place

1972

[Verse 1]
Down the road come-a Junko Partner
Boy, he was loaded as can be
Boy, he was knocked down, knocked down loaded
You know he wobbled all over the street
Singing, "Six months ain't no sentence
Thought that one year ain't no time
They got boys up on the Ponderosa
Servin' nine to ninety-nine"
If I had, if I had, if I had a million dollars
Just-a one million to call my own
I would buy me the land around Parish Prison
And I would grow me a big mootie farm, alright

[Verse 2]
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Here he comes, Mr. Jones
Whoo, boy, you're on your back so hard
Got to say lordy-ho
If a penny make a nickel, a nickel make a dime
A dime will make you half and a half will make a dollar
Make you holler
Give me whisky when I get a little frisky
'Cause it's-a mighty good drink when you get a little dry
Give me tobacco when I get a little sickly
But give me heroin before I die

[Outro]
Down the road, down the road, down the road, down the road
Come-a Junko Partner, Partner, Partner, Partner
Boy, he was loaded as can be
But he was knocked, knocked, knocked, he was knocked out loaded
Don't you know he wobbled, yes, all over the street
