Hoo-hoo
This here is a story about Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Two young lovers with nothing better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobby Sue took the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his living off other people's taxes
Bobby Sue, whoa-oh-ho, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up with her the very next day
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
They headed down south and they're still runnin' today, singin'
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (ooh lord)
Go on, take the money and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Yeah, yeah
Go on, take the money and run (yeah, yeah)(hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (ooh lord)
Go on, take the money and run (yeah, yeah)(hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the money and run (ooh lord)
