Lyrics J for Johnny - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

J for Johnny

Way down at Mister Joe’s Cafe
They’re takin' someone far away,
And if you hear a song today
It’s a sad tune that you’ll be playin':
She’s leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,
They’re grievin' and they’re consolin' poor Joe;
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She’ll be travelin' alone down that last long mile
They’re sighin' with all their trouble and woes
They’re cryin' 'cause they all loved
THE GAL FROM JOE’S.
She’s leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,
They’re grievin' and they’re consolin' poor Joe;
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She’ll be travelin' alone down that last long mile
They’re sighin' with all their trouble and woes
They’re cryin' 'cause they all loved
THE GAL FROM JOE’S.
