Baby Joe's Blues
Oh Baby Joe
What are you gonna do
Your good gal is gone
Says she's tired of you
Dark clouds rolling in
Looks like rain today
Oh Baby Joe
Your hair's a turning grey
Your money's all gone
You're back out on the street
Things were looking good
But that was last week
But you ain't no stranger
Remember ole San Francisco
Down by Golden Gate
Hanging out with the old winos
But those days you thought
You had the world in your hands
Had it all figured out
You had yourself a plan
But you were so young
And young men just grow old
And now here you are
Another stranger on this road
Now you say it don't matter
If she never comes back
Cause California's waiting
Down by the railroad track
Oh Baby Joe
Don't this time pass us by
Seems like yesterday
When we were all too young to die
