Lyrics Joe's Been A-Gittin' There - Johnny Horton
There
was
a
Yankee
Colonel
In
1862
who
fell
in
love
With
a
Southern
belle
Where
the
sweet
Magnolias
bloom
He
wondered
why
folks
laughed
at
him
When
he
went
riding
by
But
little
did
he
know
that
she
was
A-courting
on
the
side
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-blind
Joe's
been
a
gettin'
there
All
this
time
Joe′s
been
a-gettin′
there
Joe's
been
a-fly
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
In
his
time
He
walked
her
up
the
mountain
He
named
it
to
her
there
He
offered
her
a
band
of
gold
And
his
name
to
share
She
said
that
she
would
marry
him
And
even
set
the
day
But
little
did
he
know
that
She
loved
a
soldier
boy
in
gray
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin'
Joe's
been
a
gettin′
there
All
this
time
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin'
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
In
his
time
She
took
the
love
he
offered
She
took
his
silver
too
She
took
every
little
thing
from
Colonel
dressed
in
blue
She
wouldn′t
let
him
hold
her
In
a
fond
embrace
and
When
he
tried
to
kiss
his
bride
She
laughed
right
in
his
face
Joe's
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin′
Joe's
been
a
gettin′
there
All
this
time
Joe's
been
a-gettin′
there
Joe's
been
a-flyin′
Joe's
been
a-gettin'
there
In
his
time
He
woke
up
one
morning
And
found
himself
alone
And
all
she
left
was
a
letter
That
said,
"Good-bye,
farewell,
I′m
gone"
No
doubt,
he
was
a
mighty
man
Where
the
heroes
fell
But
all
is
fair
in
love
and
war
And
he
lost
his
Southern
belle,
yeah
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin'
Joe′s
been
a
gettin
there
All
this
time
Joe's
been
a-gettin′
there
Joe's
been
a-flyin
Joe's
been
a-gettin′
there
In
his
time
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin'
Joe′s
been
a
gettin
there
All
this
time
Joe's
been
a-gettin′
there
Joe's
been
a-flyin
Joe's
been
a-gettin′
there
In
his
time
Joe′s
been
a-gettin'
there
Joe′s
been
a-flyin'
