I finished mixing/mastering this recording yesterday afternoon and editing the video last night. I just uploaded the video this morning.

The song is entitled "Junko Joe"

the lyrics:

Comin' down the road

fully loaded

tip tap pass the land mine

not yet exploded

gonna do the crime

don't fear no sentence

got a pocket full of bullets

and a head full of intents

Junko Joe and the Angola Blues Band

Junko Joe and the Angola Blues Band

He got a whats-that-smell-sneer

and a tongue for gallows humor

made his buddies breakin' boulders

under gun Louisiana

he got a sharpened toothbrush

and the man done taught him patience

scratch a marker in the cell wall

meditate upon his vengeance

Junko Joe and the Angola Chain Gang

Junko Joe and the Angola Chain Gang

Junko Joe gonna meet his executioner

gonna swing beneath 13 coils of hemp

Junko Joe say he have every right to do it

his final words were I have nothing to repent

Junko Joe and the Angola Hang Man

Junko Joe and the Angola Hang Man

His final words were, "I have nothing to repent."
