            G                    A
Well let me tell you 'bout Buddy Joe
             G             A
When he came down from Mexico
         G               A
With his pockets full of gold
         Em
With his pockets full of gold

         G              A
Have you something to declare
        G                     A
Are you sure there is nothing there
             G        A
And if there is don't say
       Em          D
You're not been told
       Em           (Tacet)
You're not been told


Em D     A
Oh Buddy Joe
              D    D/C#     Bm
What have you done with the gold
Em D     A
Oh Buddy Joe
              D    D/C#     Bm
What have you done with the gold
                             A
What have you done with the gold
     Em
Well I don't really know



Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico all the riversides
Not for the money but for the gold
He needs to hold

But Buddy Joe as proud as he was
Could not stand all that fuzz
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go
He was ready to go

(chorus)

You'll understand he didn't stand the jams
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
Then he was ready to be very poor
He was ready to be very poor

(chorus)
