Rooftop Joe
He was standing tall
to the mirror
when she came to warn him
of the jailors
Then he saw the tears
Running down her face
Surrender my dear
He schemed a plan
He took a step, one single step outside
He spoke
You behind the oak tree
You behind the oak tree
You'd better live or die
From the bushes curled up behind
The fear in their eyes
with fright
They asked for his head
So he ran back through the house, the hills, the wind and the rain
There was led in the rain
He left a bulley behind
He left a bullet behind
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
He left a bullet behind,
It muffled more than pride
You behind the oak tree,
You behind the oak tree,
you'd better leave or die.
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
They found him, alone on a boat, waiting by the sea
But he never had a chance, Rooftop Joe
to the mirror
when she came to warn him
of the jailors
Then he saw the tears
Running down her face
Surrender my dear
He schemed a plan
He took a step, one single step outside
He spoke
You behind the oak tree
You behind the oak tree
You'd better live or die
From the bushes curled up behind
The fear in their eyes
with fright
They asked for his head
So he ran back through the house, the hills, the wind and the rain
There was led in the rain
He left a bulley behind
He left a bullet behind
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
Oh you never had a chance, did you rooftop joe?
He left a bullet behind,
It muffled more than pride
You behind the oak tree,
You behind the oak tree,
you'd better leave or die.
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE!
They found him, alone on a boat, waiting by the sea
But he never had a chance, Rooftop Joe
