《Little Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Joe - Bill Monroe

[00:00:05] What will the birds do mother in the spring

[00:00:08] When they gather crumbs around the door

[00:00:12] Will they fly from the trees half as nice with glee

[00:00:17] Asking why Joe wanders out no more

[00:00:20] What will the kitten do mother all alone

[00:00:24] Will he stop from his frolick for the day

[00:00:28] Will he lie on his rug by the side of my bed

[00:00:32] As he did before I went away

[00:00:36] What will Thomas that old gardener say

[00:00:39] When you ask him for flowers for me

[00:00:43] Will he give you a rose he has tended with care

[00:00:47] The first fairest bloom of the tree

[00:01:07] I seen the tears in his honest old eyes

[00:01:10] But he said it was the wind that brought

[00:01:14] As he gazed on my cheeks growing paler each day

[00:01:18] And his hand went through my hair

[00:01:22] Keep tied mother my poor little dog

[00:01:25] I know he'll mourn for me too

[00:01:29] Keep him when old and useless he grows

[00:01:33] Sleeping the whole summer through

[00:01:37] Show him my coat mother so he'll not forget

[00:01:40] His master who then will be dead

[00:01:44] Just speak to him kindly and often of Joe

[00:01:47] And pat him on his brown shaggy head

[00:02:06] And you dearest mother may miss me for a while

[00:02:10] But in heaven I'll no larger grow

[00:02:13] And any kind angel will know at the gate

[00:02:17] When you ask for your darling little Joe
