Poor Joe

Yeah, poor Joe been walkin'
Poor Joe been walkin' both night and day
Yeah, poor Joe walkin'
Poor Joe been walkin' both night and day

Yeah, poor Joe tired of walkin'
Poor Joe tired of walkin'
Tired of walkin' on, tired of walkin' on

Yes, I been walkin'
'Til corn got on my feet
Yes, Joe been walkin'
Until the corn got on my feet
Yes, poor Joe ain't gettin' corn
Poor Joe ain't gettin' corn

Yes, done got tired
Lord, my shoes gettin' very thin
Yes, Joe done got tired
Now, Lord, my shoes gettin' very thin
And, yeah, my shoes gettin' very thin

Yes, if I'da listened
At what my dear old mother said
I'da put some corn on the cob
Or in Daddy's shade, shade
