Let me tell you about

Joewhen he came down from
Mexicowith his pockets full of goldwith his pockets full of gold.
Have you something to declareare you sure there's nothing thereand if there is don't sayyou have not been toldnot been told.
Oh
Buddy
Joewhat have they done with the gold.
Oh
Buddy
Joewhat have they done with the gold.
What have they done with the golddon't really know.
Well
Buddy
Joe searched all his lifethrough
Mexico all the river-sidesnot for the money but for the goldhe needs to hold
Buddy
Joe proud as he wascould not stand all the fusswhen they got to all his goldhe was ready to gohe was ready to go.
Oh
Buddy

You'll understand he didn't stand a chanceev'rybody was shouting commandswhen
Buddy
Joe split in a hurrysoon he was ready to be buried.
Oh
