Poor Old Joe - BZN

Let me tell the sad sad story of poor old Joe

He was born a country boy, he’s living low

Just sittin' on a railroad station

Watching all the trains go by

He saw a girl, her smile drove him insane

She was passing on a train

Just to catch a glimpse of her face, he waited every day

Only for a minute before she moved away

But in his imagination

She’d step off to say hello

There won’t be an answer just because

She’s ridin' on a train

She wore some red and yellow roses

And even diamonds in her hair

She had the beauty of a queen

Loveliness you’ve never seen

Nothing could with it compare

She wore some red and yellow roses

And even diamonds in her hair

She didn’t have an eye for Joe

But the poor man didn’t know

He believed in his affair

Oh, he really fell in love with that travelling girl

He bought her a golden ring, a beautiful pearl

Just sittin' on a railroad station

Watching all the trains go by

He won’t be able just to give it her because

She’s riding on a train

She wore some red and yellow roses

And even diamonds in her hair

She had the beauty of a queen

Loveliness you’ve never seen

Nothing could with it compare

She wore some red and yellow roses

And even diamonds in her hair

She didn’t have an eye for Joe

But the poor man didn’t know

He believed in his affair
