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

When the judge asks me how I plea
G                   D       G
Not guilty sir most decisively

You can see just at a glance
G               D     G
I’m a victim of circumstance
