It was late at night
the moon was shining bright
I was asleep in my bed until I hear screaming
which I thought was in my head
I said oh no, look out now it's gonna go down

when joe's burned down it burned to the ground
the king of Greenwood lost his crown
found leah dragging him out
saving his life it was over that night
Joe joe lookout now it's going - to burn down


it was up on the street - he had no shoes on his feet
He was dragging him out it was a terrible sight
he lost his reign that night

Joe Joe lookout now it's going to burn down
you're house burned down

It was across my street. We had no shoes on our feet
She was dragging him out it was a terrible sight
he lost his reign that night
Oh no lookout now it's going to burn down
Your house burned down
It's going to burn down
It burned down
