When I met Joe he was a drinking man
He liked to get to know you with a glass in his hand
with a glass in his hand
He was riding the rails back in '29
Compared to most folks he was doing fine
he was doing fine
When Joe got going he'd talk real fast
Advertising & revising his illustrious past
He spit & he laughed he was a kick in the ass
He told a lot of tales and he played a little Hobo Jazz
He borrowed a banjo off a boxcar bum
It took him a year to learn to play it some
He learned to play by gum
Next thing you know he's at Carnegie Hall
The Governor's Mansion, The President's Ball
He played them all
When Joe got going he'd talk real fast
Advertising & revising his illustrious past
He spit & he laughed he was a kick in the ass
He told a lot of tales and he played a little Hobo Jazz
