Joey (乔伊) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

Born in Red Hook Brooklyn in the year of who knows when[00:00:17]

Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion[00:00:26]

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

When they asked him why it had to be that way[00:00:41]

Well he answered just because[00:00:44]

Larry was the oldest Joey was next to last[00:00:50]

They called Joe Crazy the baby they called Kid Blast[00:00:59]

Some say they lived off gambling and running numbers too[00:01:07]

It always seemed they got caught between the mob and[00:01:15]

The man in blue[00:01:19]

Joey Joey[00:01:23]

King of the streets child of clay[00:01:33]

Joey Joey[00:01:40]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:01:49]

There was talk they killed their rivals[00:02:13]

But the truth was far from that[00:02:17]

No one ever knew for sure where they were really at[00:02:22]

When they tried to strangle Larry Joey almost hit the roof[00:02:29]

He went out that night to seek revenge thinking he was bulletproof[00:02:38]

The war broke out at the break of dawn it emptied out[00:02:46]

The streets[00:02:52]

Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats[00:02:55]

Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners[00:03:03]

They stashed them away in a basement called them amateurs[00:03:11]

The hostages were trembling when they heard a man exclaim[00:03:20]

Let's blow this place to kingdom come let Con Edison take the[00:03:28]

Blame[00:03:34]

But Joey stepped up and he raised his hand and said[00:03:36]

We're not those kind of men[00:03:40]

It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work[00:03:44]

Again[00:03:50]

Joey Joey[00:03:53]

King of the streets child of clay[00:04:02]

Joey Joey[00:04:09]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:04:18]

The police department hounded him they called him Mr Smith[00:04:43]

They got him on conspiracy they were never sure who with[00:04:51]

What time is it said the judge to Joey when they met[00:04:59]

Five to ten said Joey The judge says[00:05:08]

That's exactly what you get[00:05:11]

He did ten years in Attica reading Nietzche and Wilhelm Reich[00:05:16]

They threw him in the hole one time for trying to stop[00:05:24]

A strike[00:05:29]

His closest friends were black men[00:05:32]

'Cause they seemed to understand[00:05:36]

What it's like to be in society with a shackle on[00:05:40]

Your hand[00:05:46]

When they let him out in 71 he'd lost a little weight[00:05:49]

But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear[00:05:57]

He did look great[00:06:02]

He tried to find the way back into the life he left[00:06:06]

Behind[00:06:11]

To the boss he said I've returned and now I want[00:06:14]

What's mine[00:06:19]

Joey Joey[00:06:22]

King of the streets child of clay[00:06:31]

Joey Joey[00:06:39]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:06:47]

It was true that in his later years he would not carry[00:07:11]

A gun[00:07:16]

I'm around too many children he'd say[00:07:19]

They should never know of one[00:07:23]

Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe[00:07:27]

Emptied out his register said[00:07:35]

Tell 'em it was Crazy Joe[00:07:39]

One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York[00:07:44]

He could see it coming through the doors as he[00:07:52]

Lifted up his fork[00:07:56]

He pushed the table over to protect his family[00:08:00]

Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy[00:08:08]

Joey Joey[00:08:16]

King of the streets child of clay[00:08:25]

Joey Joey[00:08:33]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:08:41]

Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep[00:09:05]

I heard his best friend Frankie say[00:09:14]

He ain't dead he's just asleep[00:09:17]

Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave[00:09:22]

I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son[00:09:30]

That he could not save[00:09:35]

The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of the[00:09:38]

Brooklyn mourned[00:09:43]

They said a mass in the old church near the house where[00:09:47]

He was born[00:09:52]

And someday if God's in heaven overlooking his preserve[00:09:55]

I know the men that shot him down will get what they[00:10:03]

Deserve[00:10:08]

Joey Joey[00:10:11]

King of the streets child of clay[00:10:20]

Joey Joey[00:10:28]

What made them want to come and blow you away[00:10:36]
