lyrics

Joe and Johnny for twenty-three years
Had a semblance of a partnership
On their anniversary, Johnny’s gift:
A gold ring with topaz and a tiny chip

Joe he said "If anybody messes with Johnny
I’ll turn around and then I’ll tell ‘em they’re done"
Then the landlord came over ranting and raving
And he was scared that she’d won

Johnny got in her face with the papers she wanted
But then she fell back against the wall
She broke her leg somehow, and now
Johnny and Joe would meet their downfall

Joe looked on as Johnny kept her quiet
And caressed his topaz and gold
They’d lay low at the motel for a time
And watch each other grow

A tale of woe?
Not so, not so
Johnny and Joe
Blow by blow
