Standard (EADGBE)

This here's 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 head 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.

Chorus

.

. Go__ on,__ take the money and run.

. Go__ on,__ take the money and run.

. Go__ on,__ take the money and run.

.

. Go__ on,__ take the money and run.

Billy Mack is 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 of the people's taxes.

Bobby Sue, Oh)oh, she slipped away.

Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day.

They got the money, hey, they got away,

They headed down south and they're still running today, singing:

(CHORUS)
