Hey Joe - Lyrics - Eddie Bond

In the mid-1950s, Bond recorded for Mercury Records and toured with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Warren Smith and others. He is infamous for having rejected the then 18-year-old Elvis Presley, who was auditioning for Bond's band. It was shortly thereafter that Presley recorded his first single at Sun Records.

Hey Joe! Where'd ya find that pearly girlie Where'd ya get that jolly dolly Introduce that pretty little chick to me Hey Joe! She's got skin that's creamy dreamy Eyes that look so lovey-dovey Lips as red as cherry berry wine Now come on Joe let's make a deal Let me dance with her to see if she is real She's my honey, she's my sugar pie I'm warnin' you I'm gonna try to steal her from you Hey Joe! We'll be friends until the end But this looks like the end my friend I gotta have that dolly for my own. Now come on Joe let's make a deal Let me dance with her to see if she is real She's my honey, she's my sugar pie In your eye you I'm gonna try to steal her from you Hey Joe! We'll be friends until the end But this looks like the end my friend I gotta have that dolly for my own.
