Sad Eyed Joe |
| Let me tell you about a story, about a man named Joe |
| His family they was hungry, so he said I’m gonna go Go up in the mountains, start looking for some gold |
| So he started out one morning, the wind was getting cold |
| The air was nearly freezing, it was ten degrees below |
| Chorus: |
| Sad eyed Joe, why did you go, |
| Your family’s gonna miss you, they want you back at home |
| Think about the winter, think about the snow |
| Think about the things that you’re gonna leave behind |
| When your looking for the gold dust that you’re never gonna find |
| He wakes up every morning, after only five hours sleep |
| Chewing on a tasteless piece of gristly worn out meat |
| His coffee runout weeks ago he won’t admit defeat |
| Panning on the water searching with his hands |
| Looking for the yellow dust but all he find is sand |
| Chorus |
| They searched fro him every day for one whole solid week |
| They found him lying frozen at the bottom of the creek |
| A bag of yellow gold dust between his icy feet |
| His collar it was turned up frozen to his jaw |
| Sad eyed Joe looked sadder than he ever looked before |
| Chorus |
