The first line mentions "joe". What does this mean, or am I mis-hearing it? My Four Reasons Banjo Ikey Robinson You know I hate a gal who's full of "Nos", hits the jug and uses joe Why that's one of my four reasons Who rolls her hose below her knees, and flirts with those and flirts with these Why that's two of my four reasons And when she uses garlic, eats Limburger cheese Why I get a weakness down below my knees Now folks I told you this and that, my mind's at ease Why that's all of my four reasons |

The following is a YouTube link to what I think is the original recording. If you want to avoid the stuff before the line, just got to about 1:25 in the song. It is definitely joe he says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktP5or-kaCU |
