G
D
Dressed in your checkered suit
A
You took my gal
D
and you took away all my loot
I gave her a ring and she said that's fine
Then you both took a train
down the Baltimore line
G
Oh, Shorty Jo,
D
you ain't no friend of mine
G
Shorty Jo, Shorty Jo,
Shorty Jo, Shorty Jo
A
D
Shorty Jo, you ain't no friend of mine
Oh, the melon is sweeter
when it's hangin' on the vine
G
Oh, the melon is sweeter
D
when it's hangin' on the vine
A
D
But Shorty Joe, you took that melon of mine
I had another woman
who was always good and true
G
Yes, I had another woman
D
who was always good and true
A
I had her locked in jail,
D
but Shorty, you got there too
Take the loaded dice
and the phony dope
Shake them all up, that's Shorty Joe
G
Oh, Shorty Joe,
D
you ain't no friend of mine
G
Shorty Joe, Shorty Joe,
Shorty Joe, Shorty Joe
A
Shorty Joe,
D
you ain't no friend of mine
You're little and mean,
but the girls think you're so sweet
G
You're little and mean,
D
but the girls think you're so sweet
A
You must have something
D
beside those two big feet
So here we go talking,
walking down the track
G
So here we go talkin',
D
walkin' down the track
A
And we won't be here
D
when Shorty Joe comes back
If you see a little man
with a gleam in his eye
He says he knows me, pass mine by
G
Cause Shorty Joe,
D
he ain't no friend of mine
G
Shorty Joe, Shorty Joe,
Shorty Joe, Shorty Joe
A
Shorty Joe,
