ernest tubb - a guy named joe lyrics

i stepped ash0r- in tokyo
feelin’ kind of blue
for i was trying to forget
a love that was untrue
when by my side i found a lad
his dark eye’s all aglow
he looked at me so hopefully
and said is your name joe
for joe’s my daddy’s name
and he will soon come sailing ‘cross the sea
he said he’d come back by and by
and joe would never lie
the warship took my dad away
and mommy needs him so
and every night i hear her pray
dear god where is my joe
somewhere back home a guy named joe is probably sipping beer
does he know how important he could be if he was here
has he forgot this little lad who needs his daddy so
a promise made a debt unpaid they’re waiting for you joe
yes joe’s his daddy’s name
and he will never sail across that sea
a stranger in a foreign land
he let his heart get out of hand
the warship took his dad away
and he’s too young to know
that off across the sea
there’s a million guy’s named joe
—
.
