Golden Earring - Buddy Joe lyrics

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe, when he came down from Mexico

With his pockets full of gold, with his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare,

are you sure there is nothing there

Cause if there is, don't say, you've not been told

You've not been told

Oh Buddy Joe, what have they done with the gold

Oh Buddy Joe, what have they done with the gold

What have they done with the gold

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

Well Buddy Joe proud as he was,

couldn't stand all the fuss

When they got to all his gold,

he was ready to go, he was ready to go

Oh Buddy Joe, what have they done with the gold

Oh Buddy Joe, what have they done with the gold

What have you done with the gold

Well, I don't really know

Well you'll understand he did not stand a chance

everybody was shouting commands

when Buddy Joe split in a hurry

he was ready to be buried, he was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe what have they done with the gold.
