| Mystery is following me down that lonesome road
|
| And I don’t know my way, my way back home
|
| There’s someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load
|
| And I don’t know my way, my way back home
|
| There’s a certain something deep inside
|
| Like a rolling sea or a river wide
|
| As the orchestra starts playing
|
| Get down Joe
|
| You can see his face, you can feel his smile
|
| Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild
|
| When the orchestra starts playing
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Think about me, girl, and the things I ain’t said
|
| I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
|
| While the folks around me sing on
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Band is swinging, people singing
|
| Get down Joe
|
| There’s a place down home where people meet
|
| They clap their hands and they stamp their feet
|
| When the music starts and the band plays
|
| Get down Joe
|
| They sing out loud and they sing out clear
|
| Turn your head round girl and you might just hear
|
| And if you do then start down singing
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Think about me, girl, and the things I ain’t said
|
| I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
|
| While the folks around me sing on
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Band is swinging, people singing
|
| Get down Joe
|
| Take hold of John’s blues (?)
|
| Must be a thousand hues (?)
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Get back Joe
|
| Take back all of your dough
|
| You’ve got no place to go
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Get back now Joe
|
| My sweetest girl that I ever had
|
| She’s drive any poor man bad
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son
|
| You’ll get the KB when you’re not on the run (?)
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Well my lady and me we’re gonna dance all night
|
| Yeah yeah we’re gonna dance until the broad broad light
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| The sweetest girl that I ever had
|
| Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad
|
| Blue John’s Blues
|
| Blue John Blues
|
| Get back Joe
|
| Lord, get back Joe |
