His mommy used to say everytime you're alone
Close your eyes and make a wish on a star
Someone must've heard him cuz his daddy came home
And bought his little Joe a Gibson guitar
The king of the blues is gonna scare a leathery song
And everybody's talking about the debt they owe to Joe
About the debt they owe to Joe
Steaming up the lips and Joey had licks
Together they would blow you away
To drink at the bowl and right out of control
Put the bad act in the saddle today
Now everybody's shootin' for the same bad star
But they can't gain an inch, it's called the debt they owe to Joe
About the debt they owe to Joe
Lord g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go!
Joe, Joe Joe
Everybody's shootin' for the same bad star
But they can't gain an inch, it's called the debt they owe
Debt they owe to Joe
Owe to Joe
Yeah hohoho!
About the debt they owe to Joe
Go go go, they got a debt they owe
Got a debt they owe to Joe
You gotta pay it
P-p-p-p-pay it, baby
