Skeeter Davis - Joshua lyrics

Well the good ways down the railroad track there was a little old rundown shack And in it lived a man I'd never seen Folks said he was a mean and vicious man and you better not set foot on his land But I didn't think nobody could be that mean So I took me a walking down the railroad track I was gonna go down to that little old shack And just find out if all them things I heard was true There was a big black dog a lying in the yard And he growled at me and I swallowed hard And I heard somebody say well who are you Oh there he stood in the door of his shack With beer in his hand and with hair long and black He was the biggest man I'd ever seen When he spoke his voice was low and mean But he just didn't frighten me cause somehow I just knew he wasn't mean He said what you doing snoopin' round my place and I saw a smile come across his face So I smiled back and I told him who I was He said come on in and pull you up a chair You might as well cause you're already here and he said you call me Joshua Joshua Joshua what you doing living all alone Joshua Joshua ain't you got nobody to call your own We talked till the sun went out of sight And we was still talkin' when it turned daylight Cause there was just so much we had to say Now I'd spend my life in an orphan's home and just like him I was all alone So I said yeah when he asked me if I'd stay Well we grew closer as time went on and that little old shack was a happy home And we just couldn't help but fall in love And that big black dog and that little old shack A sittin' down there by the railroad track Was plenty good enough for me and Joshua Joshua Joshua why you're just what I been looking for Joshua Joshua we ain't gonna be lonely anymore (yodel) (It just sounds like Dolly doesn't it) It's just story of me and Joshua real love story me and Joshua me and Joshua
