You and me and that
girl from Juarez
Called herself Juanita Perez
Do you remember the
second of June
Underneath the big round
crescent moon
There was a crab shack
down by the water
Samson dallies with the devil's daughter
But darling Cory is never awake
Sweet Willie dies for true love's sake
I wanna tell you about that time
I wanna tell you about that time
I wanna tell you about the good old days
Shut the door and pull up
a cab
Jawbone, jawbone talkin' all night,
talkin' on past the dawn
Jawbone, jaw talkin' on and on,
talkin' on and on and on
Now jawbone talks like a fevered soul,
and other times sounds like rain
Ain't no sayin' how jawbone talk,
cause it never sound twice the same
I want to tell you about that time, that time
I want to tell you about that time
I want to tell you about
The good ol' story
What's the hurry?
Here's your hat
Jawbones sound like a clarinet
Jawbone sound like a drum
Jawbone sound like a dog in heat
Or a trumpet from kingdom come
Jawbone got a thousand tricks
The most you never saw
Jawbone talk about politics
Religion and death and law
I wanna tell you about that time, that time
I wanna tell you about that time
I want to tell you all the good old stories
Once the hurry is your hand
Remember when we rode
with Jesse James
Back when the West was young
Whose sad death Bob Ford was blamed
By the bearers of a wagon ton
Most of all Juanita Perez
A token of a true fine dream
All the stories Jawbone tells
Always she's a central theme
I want to tell you about that time,
that time
I want to tell you about
the good old days
Shut the door and pull up a cat
I want to tell you about that time, that time
I want to tell you about that time
I want to tell you about the
good old stories
Watch the hurry,
here's your hat
You
