《Ko-Ko Joe》歌词

[00:00:01] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:03] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:05] Uhh

[00:00:06] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:07] Go ahead home

[00:00:08] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:09] Up in Appaloosa county

[00:00:11] There＇s a place called Ko-ko Ridge

[00:00:14] Sittin＇ right on the bend

[00:00:15] On the Etowah River

[00:00:16] Where the water washed away the bridge

[00:00:18] Cotton Mouth Country

[00:00:19] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:21] A river rat＇s knee high

[00:00:22] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:23] Way up around the back border

[00:00:24] Lived a man

[00:00:25] That the river folks talked about

[00:00:27] They said you better stay away from Ko-ko Joe

[00:00:30] Cause he＇s crazy no account

[00:00:32] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:33] Ko-ko Joe

[00:00:34] They called him the Etowah River swamp rat

[00:00:37] The folks despised him

[00:00:38] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:40] Ko-ko Joe

[00:00:42] He was an awfully peculiar man

[00:00:44] The river was his only friend

[00:00:46] And the folks didn＇t understand

[00:00:48] The man called Ko-ko Joe

[00:00:51] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:00:53] He＇d eat monkey meat and mashed potatoes

[00:00:56] He drunk a brew called Mo-jo Claw

[00:00:58] That he beat outa roots from old dead stumps

[00:01:00] On the banks of the Etowah

[00:01:03] Made him walk a little funny

[00:01:04] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:05] Made his breath smell funky

[00:01:07] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:07] Well he never come across the river

[00:01:10] ＇Cause the folks didn＇t like him in town

[00:01:12] They said his hair was long

[00:01:13] His clothes were dirty

[00:01:15] They didn＇t want him hangin＇ around

[00:01:17] Ko-ko Joe Ko-ko Joe

[00:01:19] They called him the Etowah River rat

[00:01:20] The folks despised him

[00:01:23] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:25] Ko-ko Joe

[00:01:26] He was an awfully peculiar man

[00:01:28] The river was his only friend

[00:01:31] And the folks didn＇t understand

[00:01:33] The man called Ko-ko Joe

[00:01:35] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:38] Well it happened a year ago Sunday

[00:01:40] And they still talk about it today

[00:01:43] How the dam broke loose

[00:01:43] On the Etowah River

[00:01:45] Nearly washin＇ everybody away

[00:01:47] The river water rising

[00:01:49] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:50] Washin＇ up all the bushes

[00:01:51] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:01:52] Well the headlines said

[00:01:53] How a mother said my son woulda lost his life

[00:01:57] But he was pulled from the mud in the Etowah River

[00:01:59] By the man y＇all despised

[00:02:01] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:02:02] Ko-ko Joe

[00:02:03] They called him the Etowah River rat

[00:02:05] The folks despised him

[00:02:07] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:02:10] Ko-ko Joe

[00:02:11] So be careful what you say my friend

[00:02:13] About folks you don＇t understand

[00:02:16] Someday you might need a man like Ko-ko Joe

[00:02:18] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:02:20] Go ahead home son

[00:02:22] (Ko-ko Joe)

[00:02:24] Ko-ko Joe

[00:02:24] They called him the Etowah River rat

[00:02:27] The folks despised him
