Mmmmmm
Well a good way down the railroad [G] track
There was this little ol' run down [A] shack
And in it lived [G] a man I'd never [A] seen
[D] Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
[G] And you better not set foot on his land
[A] But I didn't think nobody could be [D] that mean
So I took me out walking down the railroad track
[G] I was gonna go down to that little ol' shack
And [A] just find out if all [G] them things I'd heard [A] was true
There [D] was a big black dog laying out in the yard [C] and it growled at me and I swallowed
hard [A] and I heard somebody say, well, [D] who are you?
Oh, and there he stood in the door of that shack [G] and his beard and his hair was long
and black [A] and he was the [G] biggest man I'd ever [A] seen.
When [D] he spoke his voice was low and [G] deep but he just didn't frighten me [A] because somehow
I just knew he [D] wasn't me.
He said, what you doing sniffing around my [G] place?
And I saw a smile come across his [A] face so I smiled back [G] and I told him who [A] I was.
[D] He said, come on in, I'll pull you up the [G] chair and you might as well since you're already
[A] here and he said, you can call me [D] Joshua.
[G] Joshua, [A] Joshua, what you doing living here all [G] alone?
Joshua, [D] [A] Joshua, ain't you got [G] nobody to call [D] your own?
No, [E] no, no, no.
We talked till the sun was clean out of sight [A] and we still talking when it come daylight.
[B] There was just [A] so much we had [B] to say.
[E] I spent my life in an orphan's home [A] and just like him I was all alone.
[B] So I said yeah when he asked if [E] I'd stay.
Oh, we grew close as time went [A] on and that little old shack was a happy [B] home and we just
[A] couldn't help but [B] fall in love.
[E] That big black dog and that little old [A] shack sitting down by the railroad [B] track is plenty
good enough for me and [E] Joshua.
[A] Joshua, [E] Joshua, why [B] you just one up in a looking [A] for?
Joshua, [E] Joshua, you [B] ain't gonna be lonesome [E] anymore.
No, no.
You're [B] [E] lately.
[A]
[E] Me [B] and [E] Joshua.
Me and Joshua.
Me and Joshua.
