Good For Nothin' Joe - Original |
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! |
