Lyrics
How can i love a man
When i know he don't want me
He'd been good
He'd been kind
He'd give up for that old roadside woman
But i can't drive him from my mind
My Joe
He was always my Joe
There was no one but me
Joe said that never could be
We was in love
And i reckon we showed it
From the way people talked
Reckon everyone knowed it
Kids on the street where we'd go
Used to yell at us
Cindy Lou belongs to Joe
Was true
And Joey belonged to Cindy Lou
I scared
Oh lord
I scared
I's like a leaf that's lost a tree
-
He got his self another woman
Did she feel his arms all around her
No lord i can't believe it so
No lord don't you let her keep my Joe
Make him throw her back
Where he found her, Joe
You said that both your arms
Was mine, remember
You said your arms was mine
I Is your gal
I was always your gal
There was no one but me
You said there never could be
We was in love
And i reckon we showed it
From the way people talked
Reckon everyone knowed it
Kids on the street where we'd go
Used to yell at us
Cindy Lou belongs to Joe
Lord oh lord look down on aren't i to see
how you can make Joe come home to me
Oh lord look down
Lead my Joe off the road
Where he's straying
Oh tell my man
Where to go
Oh lord i's calling
Ahhhhh you
