Quick Joey Small went over the wall
With a ball an' a chain behind him
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Send the dogs right out to find him

In a striped prision suit with no room to move 
He headed for the highway
With his chain still dragin' 
He thumbed down a wagon said
Well you're goin my way
And they say now

Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey 
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail

Sheriff got a shotgun, he do
He'll fill you full of lead son, it's true

He's also got a blackjack, he's mad 
He'd bust your head with one wack
Here I go now

Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail

Sweet Mary Jane was goin' insane 
When she heard of Joey's jail break
But she knew all the while 'cause 
She sent him a file 
Baked inside a fudge cake

Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail

Sheriff Jack Banes was a light on brains
But he knew one thing for sure 
He took some toughs and a pair of handcuffs
And headed straight for Mary Jane's door

Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail

Run Joey
Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Jump-up Jump-up
Run Joey
Joey run run they're gonna send you back to jail
