Injurin Joe is a song written by Ray Stevens in the 2002 movie Tom Sawyer.

Lyrics
What he does for a livin'? Nobody knows He aint got no job, he just comes an' goes He's as mean as a snake and twice as low Aint for nuthin', they call him Injurin' Joe

Yeah, he's a cold blooded killer He'll break you in half You can beg for mercy but he'll just laugh When it comes to evil, he's a pro Watch out! For Injurin' Joe

Injurin' Joe Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle When he grabs ya' well he won't let go 'Till it thunders

Well ya' look up "mean" in a dictionary and there's his picture, and it's mighty scary He'll hold a grudge 'till the July snows Don't mess with Injurin' Joe

Yeah he's a real hard case He's a sack full of nails He was raised on trouble He was born in jail And if ya cross him He'll plant ya' six feet in the ground Watch out! Injurin' Joe's in town

Injurin' Joe Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle When he grabs ya' well he won't let go 'Till it thunders Now don't let'im get'cha 'Cause he'll sure do you harm He'll gouge out yer' eyes He'll tear off yer' arms And he'll steal anything that aint nailed down Lord have mercy, Injurin' Joe's in town

Injurin' Joe Injurin' Joe

Like the ol' snappin' turtle When he grabs ya' well he won't let go 'Till it thunders
