Little New Jersey Town Lyrics


Sammy Walker Little New Jersey Town

[Verse 1]
Somewhere up in New Jersey
There's a little ol' sleepy town
That goes to bed and rises with the sun
The highway cuts its way
Through the hollows and the hayfields
And through the town the whisping cars have spun
There's a little boy who lives
Just a half a mile away
Who walks along the highway every day
A couple of years ago
Away from home the young boy strayed
And he lost his arm unto a trapper's blade

[Chorus]
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?

[Verse 2]
Well the day finally came
As to all kids does the same
That the boy would start up at the red brick school
But the other kids made fun
Without knowing what they'd done
So he quickly learned about the Golden Rule

[Chorus]
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?

[Verse 3]
Deep down in the woods
Where the lonesome boy had stood
He saw a hound dog shivering in the snow
The path did stretch and wind
As the hound dog tagged behind
So on the way to home the two did go

[Chorus]
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?

[Verse 4]
The young boy and the hound
Took the blessing that they'd found
And washed away the sadness and the gloom
Their love grew deep and wide
As they combed the countryside
And all around the happiness did bloom

[Chorus]
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?

[Verse 5]
The hound would always wait
At the rusty old school gate
For his pal to finish up the day
Till one day the boy did find
How the world was so unkind
And in the road his only friend it lay

[Chorus]
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?
Have you seen a young blue hound?
Have you seen the boy around?
Have you driven through a little old Jersey town?
