Ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

Ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound of my gun

Ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

Ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound

Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

Whole world's come undone

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 got a gun

Janie got a gun

Dog days 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 lightning and the thunder

Knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain

Run away, run away from the pain

Run away, run away

Run, run away

Janie got a gun

Janie's got a gun

Dog days just begun

Now everybody is on the run

What did her daddy do

It's janie's last i-o-u

She had to take him down easy

And put a bullet in his brain

She said 'cause nobody believes me

The man was such a sleaze

He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain

Run away, run away from the pain

Run away, run away

Run, run away

Janie's got a gun

Janie got a gun

Janie's got a gun

Everybody is on the run

Janie got a gun

Dog days just begun

Now everybody is on the run

Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

Dog days just begun

Now everybody is on the run

Janie got a gun.
