Down the road came a Junco Partner
Boy, he was loaded as can be
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
He was a'wobblin' all over the street
Singing 6 months ain't no sentence
Yeah, and one year ain't no time
I was born in Angola
Serving 14 to 99
Well I wish I had me one million dollars
Oh, one million to call my own
I would raise me, and say, "grow for me baby"
Raise me a tobacco farm
Take a walk, Take a walk, Junco Partner
Well, when I had me a great deal of money
Yeah, I had mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends they're putting me down
So now I gotta pawn my ratchet and pistol
Yeah I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my sweet Gabriella
But the smart girl she wouldn't sign her name
(repeat first verse twice)
Well I'm down, yes I'm getting thirsty
Pour me out a good beer, when I'm dry
Just, just give me whisky, when I'm thirsty
Give me headstone when I die.
Down the road.
The Clash - Junco Partner (04:15)

Clash, mixed and recorded at Channel One Studios in 1980. The Clash and Mikey Dread had a unique
relationship, collaborating on two albums, dubbing and toasting over numerous tracks. PS - Junco
Partner is one of the most covered tracks ever, the album sleeve states that the original singer is

The Pistols were angry, the Clash were outraged.

This song is so inward looking and self-regarding that it ought to be shite.... but the Strummer-Jones-Topper-Simonon Clash were so brilliant that it's one of the best rock songs ever ever ever! The bit from 2:15 in is pure fuckin rock and roll genius!
