Good for Nothin' Joe |
| It’s gonna rain any minute, |
| There’s not a star in sight; |
| Things are mighty slow, |
| I guess I’ll close up shop and go home to Joe. |
| I know he won’t be glad to see me Without a penny to the good, |
| But I’m not carin' much what happens, |
| I did the best I could! |
| He’s just good for nothin' Joe, |
| But oh, I love him so! |
| Guess I’d die if good for nothin' Joe ever tried to leave me flat, |
| Oh yes, I’m certain of that! |
| Folks I know can’t understand |
| Why I must have that man; |
| Lord, he sends me like nobody can, |
| Ain’t a woman just like that! |
| I wouldn’t mind doin' what I’m doin', |
| I’d beat these streets till my feet were sore, |
| But when it’s slow and I go home to him, |
| Instead of sympathy, |
| He’s just as mean as can be! |
| Still, there’s nothin' I can do now |
| Because I love him so, |
| I’d be good for nothin' too, I know |
| Without good for nothin' Joe. |
| I’d be good for nothin' too, I know |
| Without good for nothin' Joe, |
| I’m goin' home to Joe! |
