James Harvest Barclay Blue John's Blues
Mystery is following me down that lonesome road And I don't know my way, my way back home There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load And I don't know my way, my way back home There's a certain something deep inside Like a rolling sea or a river wide As the orchestra starts playing Get down Joe You can see his face, you can feel his smile Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild When the orchestra starts playing Blue John's Blues Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do While the folks around me sing on Blue John's Blues Band is swinging, people singing Get down Joe There's a place down home where people meet They clap their hands and they stamp their feet When the music starts and the band plays Get down Joe They sing out loud and they sing out clear Turn your head round girl and you might just hear And if you do then start down singing Blue John's Blues Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do While the folks around me sing on Blue John's Blues Band is swinging, people singing Get down Joe Take hold of John's blues (?) Must be a thousand hues (?) Blue John's Blues Get back Joe Take back all of your dough You've got no place to go Blue John's Blues Get back now Joe My sweetest girl that I ever had She's drive any poor man bad Blue John's Blues Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son You'll get the KB when you're not on the run (?) Blue John's Blues Well my lady and me we're gonna dance all night Yeah yeah we're gonna dance until the broad broad light Blue John's Blues The sweetest girl that I ever had Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad Blue John's Blues Blue John Blues Get back Joe Lord, get back Joe
