The Del McCoury Band - Joe lyrics

Artist: The Del McCoury Band

album: Del Mccoury Still Sings Bluegrass


I'll tell you 'bout a man I know
He's lean and tall and his name is Joe
If trouble comes around, he's in the middle
He can sing and play everything, but the fiddle
I went to see him play, the place was dark and loud
They didn't come to sip, it was a drinkin' crowd
My eyes, they burned from the smoky cloud
It's a place where you walk in and find your way out
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter
The music was good, boy, the band was tight
Joe was singin' the blues, he was a-doin' 'em right
A better sound I hadn't heard in years
But in the back of my mind, I had some fears
In the back of the room, I heard someone shout
In two seconds time, a big fight broke out
It gave the show a little different twist
Joe left the stage swingin' his fists
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter
♪
If you think he can sing, you oughta see him fight
He was quick as a cat, it was a sight
He knocked 'em dead, and boy, he's in one
And now when he's down, he said, "Ain't this fine?"
He's a born singer
A big star, he's a dead ringer
He's a born fighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter
No one I know has a future that's brighter
