Joey (Live) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Born in Red Hook Brooklyn in the year of who knows when[00:00:03]

Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion[00:00:28]

Always on the outside of whatever side there was[00:00:34]

When they asked him why it had to be that way "Well " he answered "just[00:00:40]

Because "[00:00:46]

Larry was the oldest Joey was next to last [00:00:47]

They called Joe "Crazy " the baby they called "Kid Blast "[00:00:53]

Some say they lived off gambling and runnin' numbers too [00:01:00]

It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue [00:01:06]

Joey Joey [00:01:13]

King of the streets child of clay [00:01:19]

Joey Joey [00:01:25]

What made them want to come and blow you away [00:01:31]

There was talk they killed their rivals but the truth was far from that[00:01:38]

No one ever knew for sure where they were really at [00:01:58]

When they tried to strangle Larry Joey almost hit the roof [00:02:05]

He went out that night to seek revenge thinkin' he was bulletproof [00:02:11]

The war broke out at the break of dawn it emptied out the streets[00:02:18]

Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats[00:02:25]

Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners [00:02:31]

They stashed them away in a basement called them amateurs [00:02:38]

The hostages were tremblin' when they heard a man exclaim [00:02:44]

"Let's blow this place to kingdom come let Con Edison take the blame "[00:02:51]

But Joey stepped up he raised his hand said "We're not those kind of men [00:02:58]

It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again "[00:03:05]

Joey Joey [00:03:12]

King of the streets child of clay [00:03:17]

Joey Joey [00:03:25]

What made them want to come and blow you away [00:03:31]

The police department hounded him they called him Mr Smith[00:03:38]

They got him on conspiracy they were never sure who with [00:03:58]

"What time is it " said the judge to Joey when they met[00:04:05]

"Five to ten " said Joey The judge says "That's exactly what you get "[00:04:11]

He did ten years in Attica reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich[00:04:18]

They threw him in the hole one time for tryin' to stop a strike [00:04:25]

His closest friends were black men 'cause they seemed to understand[00:04:32]

What it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand [00:04:38]

When they let him out in '71 he'd lost a little weight[00:04:48]

But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear he did look great [00:04:52]

He tried to find the way back into the life he left behind[00:04:59]

To the boss he said "I have returned and now I want what's mine "[00:05:05]

Joey Joey [00:05:12]

King of the streets child of clay [00:05:19]

Joey Joey [00:05:26]

Why did they have to come and blow you away [00:05:32]

It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun[00:05:38]

"I'm around too many children " he'd say "they should never know of one "[00:05:58]

Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe [00:06:05]

Emptied out the register said "Tell 'em it was Crazy Joe "[00:06:12]

One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York[00:06:19]

He could see it comin' through the door as he lifted up his fork [00:06:25]

He pushed the table over to protect his family[00:06:32]

Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy [00:06:38]

Joey Joey [00:06:45]

King of the streets child of clay [00:06:52]

Joey Joey [00:06:58]

What made them want to come and blow you away [00:07:05]

Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep [00:07:11]

I heard his best friend Frankie say "He ain't dead he's just asleep "[00:07:32]

Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave[00:07:38]

I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save [00:07:45]

The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of Brooklyn mourned[00:07:51]

They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was born [00:07:58]

And someday if God's in heaven overlookin' His preserve[00:08:04]

I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve [00:08:10]

Joey Joey [00:08:17]

King of the streets child of clay [00:08:24]

Joey Joey [00:08:31]

What made them want to come and blow you away [00:08:37]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:08:44]
