Janie’s got a gun
Janie’s got a gun
Her whole world’s come undone
From lookin’ straight at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin’
Now that Janie’s got a gun
She ain’t never gonna be the same

Janie’s got a gun
Janie’s got a gun
Her dog day just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it’s untrue
What did her daddy do

He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin’ and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain, ah
Run away, run away, run, run away

You better run away, run away from the pain, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie’s got a gun
Janie’s got a gun
Janie’s got a gun
Now everybody is on the run
