Dr. John - Junko Partner Lyrics
Down the road come-a Junko Partner
Boy, he was loaded as can be
Boy, he was knocked down, knocked down loaded
You know he wobbled all over the street.
Thought that one year ain't no time
They got boys up on Ponderosa
Servin' nine to ninety nine
If I had, if I had, if I had, a million dollars
Just-a one million to call my own
I would buy me the land around Parish Prison
And I would throw me a (big movie phone)?
Alright
Here he comes, Mr. Jones
Whoo boy, you're on your back so hard
Got to say lordy-ho
If a penny make a nickel, a nickel make a dime
A dime will make you half, a half will make a dollar
Make you ha-a-a-ller
Give me whisky
When I get a little frisky
Cus it's-a mighty good drink
When you get a little dry
Give me tobacco-o-o
When I get a little sickly
But give me heroin
Before I die
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Come Junko Partner (Partner, Partner, Partner)
Boy he was loaded as can be
But he was knocked knocked knocked, he was knocked out loaded
Don't you know he wobbled, yes, all over the street

Dr. John Junko Partner Comments
Thanks to Jack Rummel and his great Dr. John biography for helping me find great songs like this one. Cheers!
Different from the Clash version (found on Sandanista!)
Down the road came a Junco Partner
For he was loaded as can be
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
He was a'wobblin' all over the street
Singing six months ain't no sentence
And one year ain't no time
I was born in Angola
Serving fourteen to ninety nine
Well I wish I had me a million dollars
Oh one million to call my own
I would raise meat and say, "grow for me baby"
I would raise me a tobacco farm
Well I wish I would have me a great deal of money
Yeah and mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends are putting me down
So now I gotta pawn my rifle and pistol
Yeah I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my seat Gabriella
But the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name
Give me headstone when I die
RIP Doc
Best version ever, IMHO .. Dr. J. really tells the story, and the horns (sax esp.) will knock ya out .. !
local native french acadian here. and I agree :D this IS the new new orleans sound.
Dr. John is my boyfriend.

"...give me heaven before I die. ..."
Stop and think about that.

Correct, it's listed as Fred Staehle - drums, percussion on the album Gumbo.
dr john signed my gumbo album and i got it beautifully framed. I rule!
Google for " groove library junko partner " (how do you share links on youtube?) -> There's the groove by Freddie Staehle.
James Booker is a proper junco partner. By the way is this Johnny Vidacovitch on drums anybody know?
Freddie Staehle
