A folk gem by the Kingston Trio, couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online so I wrote it
down by ear. Since it's sung in an accent, I couldn't get all the words clear. Feel free
to comment for any suggestions on the lyrics.

Chorus:
G D Run Joe, there’s a man at the door, run G D Joe, the money won’t let me go run G C Joe, run as fast as you can, run D G Joe, police’s holding me hand Em Lai lai lai loway loway 2x G D Good day Juanita get into bed G D G Call a doctor and tie your head G D Get a lawyer to stand me bail G D G I don’t want to sleep in this rotten jail
