A Little Boy Called Joe Lyrics by Johnny Gray

Chicago Bluegrass

0

[Verse 1]
In a war-torn land of poverty
Somewhere across the sea
There's a little boy who's waiting
He looks a lot like me
His hair is like the sunlight
On the wings of a crow
I don't know what they named him
But I'm sure they call him Joe
[Chorus]
Just a little boy called Joe
Like so many more I know
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
I want him to have my name
Little Joe was mine to claim
This little boy called Joe belongs to me
[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 2]
His mothеr died to give him life
Thе night my orders came
I wanted to be with him
But war's an evil thing
Now he won't recognize me
But I've got to let him know
That he means much more to someone
Than just a little boy called Joe
[Chorus]
Just a little boy called Joe
Like so many more I know
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
I want him to have my name
Little Joe was mine to claim
This little boy called Joe belongs to me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Just a little boy called Joe
Like so many more I know
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
I want him to have my name
Little Joe was mine to claim
This little boy called Joe belongs to me
Yes, this little boy called Joe belongs to me
