He was standing tall to the mirror
When she came to warn him of the jailors
And then he saw the tears rolling down her face
Surrender my dear..." he schemed a plan
He took a step, one single step outside and then he spoke
You behind the oak tree
You behind the oak tree, you'd better leave or die
From the bushes, curled up behind the fear in their eyes
With fright, they asked for his head
So he ran back, through the house, the hills, the wind and the rain
There was led in the rain
He left a bullet behind
He left a bullet behind
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
He left a bullet behind
It muffled more than pride
You behind the oak tree
You behind the oak tree, i told you "leave or die
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
Oh you never had a chance, did you? ROOFTOP JOE
They found him, alone on a boat, waiting by the sea
But he never had a chance, Rooftop Joe
