Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen He turned into something he shouldn't have been He was a man who couldn't stand still Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal
Ginger Joe used to have a life Ginger Joe used to have a wife Ginger Joe gave it all away For a smoking gun on a rainy day
Ginger Joe used to have a name Ginger Joe used to play the game Ginger Joe's slipping on a slope His life slinging on a rope Nothing will ever be the same
Ginger Joe used to be a star Hey Ginger, hey Ginger Ginger Joe used to drive a car Hey Ginger, hey Ginger Ginger's life was a Christmas Carol Hey Ginger Ginger's feather's they are full of tar Hey Ginger
Ginger Joe used to pray the Lord But Ginger he’s sitting on a board Ginger Joe used to have a home With a Ginger dog sucking on a bone
Ginger's life was nothing but a lie Ginger he didn't like the truth Ginger Joe wished he'd never die Ginger is paying for his youth
Listen people and you will know The man who had it all and let it go Listen people and let us tell You how he rose and how he fell Ginger saw something he shouldn't have seen He turned into something he shouldn't have been He was a man who couldn't stand still Ginger was the one who struck the wrong deal
