Joe Ball Was His Name

(album: Carnival Of Killers - 2020)

There's an old horror film named
Eaten Alive which is very grim
About a man who fed his guests to his pet gator
Who lived in a pool by the Inn
This morbid movie plot
Is based on a real-life story that is non-fiction
About a man named Joe Ball who owned a bar
That he called The Sociable Inn

Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite a shame
Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite insane
Joe Ball was his name

The Sociable Inn had a special feature
Unlike all the other establishments
Joe Ball had a cement pond
That contained pet gators at the back of the Inn
He also hired pretty waitresses
That drew men to The Sociable Inn
He fed his gators horse meat
And dead waitresses that had worked for him

Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite a shame
Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite insane
Joe Ball was his name

The families of the missing waitresses
Where concerned about their daughters
But Joe Ball killed and chopped them up
And fed them to all of his pet gators
The police then questioned him
About the disappearance of his waitresses
When they came to arrest him
Joe Ball took a gun and shot himself in the head

Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite a shame
Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball Joe Ball was his name
Joe Ball was his name
And what he did to waitresses was quite insane
Joe Ball was his name
