Smokey Joe

On the streets of Chicago strode Smokey Joe
Meanest man around brass knuckles and switchblade in tow
Ruled the pool hall muscle and brawn
They knew him all the fear they all knew just grew and grew

Rumblin and a fightin ole Joe knew too well.
Crash boom bam his adversaries fell
Day or night rain or shine Joe was always ready for rumblin time

Smokey Joe king of the walk
No-one ever uttered his name
Stupid enough to try, left ya on the sidewalk
Left ya laying a bloody shame

On the streets of Chicago strode Smokey Joe
Meanest man around, brass knuckles and switchblade in tow
Ruled the pool hall muscle and brawn
They knew him all, the fear just grew and grew

Smokey Joe Smokey Joe on the mean streets you dwell
One day you'll meat your match
Forever playin billiards in hell
Until such time Joe still rules the hall
Darin anyone to sink the last 8-ball

Ole Smokey Joe his legend did grow
Pool hall day or Night
Smokey never gave in without a fight
