Junco Partner Lyrics - Didn't It Rain - Hugh Laurie

Way down the road 

Came a poor little junco 

He was loaded as can be 

He was knocked out 

Knocked out and loaded 

But he was singing 

This song to me 

Well, he said six month's 

That ain't no sentence 

He said one year 

That ain't no time 

I know boys 

Boys in Angola 

But doing one year out of 99 

When the poor boy had 

Plenty of money 

He had friends 

All over town 

Well, now he's broke down, 

Broke down and busted 

And there ain't no 

Friends to be found 

Well, the poor boy pawn 

His silver pistol 

So he could buy, 

Buy a diamond ring 

So he could wed 

The woman he was loving 

But that poor girl 

Wouldn't sign her name 

Said give him whiskey 

When he gets thirsty 

Give him water 

Give him water 

When he gets dry 

When he gets dry 

Give him attention 

When he gets sickly 

Give him a graveyard 

Oh, when he dies 

Yeah, down the road 

Came a Junco Partner 

He was loaded, loaded as can be 

When he was knocked out, 

Knocked out and loaded 

But he was singing 

This song to me 

Yeah, he was singing 

This song to me
