The Kingston Trio

Biography:

The Kingston Trio is an American folk group that helped launch the folk revival of the 1960s and continued to thrive despite the emergence of rock and roll.

The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 in the Palo Alto, California area by original lineup of Dave Guard (1934–1991), Bob Shane (1934–2020), and Nick Reynolds (1933–2008), who were just out of college. Greatly influenced by The Weavers, the calypso sounds of Harry Belafonte, and other semi-popular folk artists such as the Gateway Singers and the Tarriers

The Kingston Trio – Run Joe
A folk gem by the Kingston Trio, couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online so I wrote it
down by ear. Since it's sung in an accent, I couldn't get all the words clear. Feel free
to comment for any suggestions on the lyrics.

CAPO I

Em
Lai lai lai loway loway 3x

G D
Moe and Joe run a country store
G D G
Telling fat on behind the door
G D
That ram more as Joe run out
G D G
Running more he begins to shout

Chorus:
G D
Run Joe, there’s a man at the door, run
G D
Joe, the money won’t let me go run
G C
Joe, run as fast as you can, run
D G
Joe, police’s holding me hand

Em
Lai lai lai loway loway 2x

G D
Good day Juanita get into bed
G D G
Call a doctor and tie your head
G D
Get a lawyer to stand me bail
G D G
I don’t want to sleep in this rotten jail

Chorus

Em
Lai lai lai loway loway 2x

G D
When they take me before the tarch
G D G
I am going to be ninety charge
G D
If I don’t I’ll be looking good
G D G
Behind the bars with me stripy suit

Chorus

Em
Lai lai lai loway loway 2x

G D
When the judge asks me how I plea
G D G
Not guilty sir most decisively
G D
You can see just at a glance
G D G
I’m a victim of circumstance

Chorus

Em
Lai lai lai loway loway 2x

G D
Me mommy told me not long ago
G D G
To keep away from that rotten Joe
G D
If I do what me mommy say
G D G
I wouldn’t be in this mess today

Chorus

Em
Police man is catching up the Joe
Joe run too slow
Lai lai lai loway loway 3x
Low
