Jas Hilsdon - Joe Lyrics

I think of you every now and then,
I think of you as a next-of-kin
Though brothers are seldom raised in the same family
It wasn't so very long ago
We were a couple of so-and-so's
Who couldn't be tied to the apron strings
Nor be denied all of our adventurings
And from Mother's side, we went wandering, Joe

We made an unlikely pair those days
You with your pioneer trails to blaze
And I was content just to go where you'd go
I'd come along with a chocolate bar
You'd promise me I could tag along
If I shared it with you, I'd say, "okay"
You never knew I'd have given it all away
To be with you in our younger days, Joe

In our younger days, Joe
In our younger days, Joe
Whatever you would say or do
I was so in love with you
And don't go thinking it was done
There was more where that one came from, Joe

So off we went hiking in the sun
You at a walk, and me at a run
Don't know what I'd have done without you to guide
The further and further from home we flew
The closer and closer I came to you
Until the day I was walkin' along at your side

At times I recall feeling sad that you
Had no big brother to follow through
Knee-deep and fresh footprints in the snow
And you never knew what a thrill I found
Growing up into your hand me downs
Your dyed in the wool, deep as indigo
I won't be blue long as I know you know
What I think of you, you old so and so, Joe

You old so and so, Joe
You old so and so, Joe
Whatever else you say or do
I am still in love with you
And don't go thinking it's all done
Just because those days are gone

Whatever else you say or do
I am still in love with you
And don't go thinking it's all done
There is more where that one came from, Joe

Oh Joe
Joe
