1997© Music by Christopher J. Roc Ohly

Christopher J. Roc Ohly * Milwaukee
 

According to Roc Ohly he named the tune after the (American) football player Joe Green, or as he was know on the field as Mean Joe Green.

Lyrics:

"Mean Joe Green, was the baddest man, that you'd ever seen.
He'd kick your ass, twice as fast, on the streets of New Orleans.
And when he passes on, his song will linger on.
The legend of Mean Joe Green."
