A Guy Named Joe

Harlan Howard

[Verse 1]
I stepped ashore in Tokyo
Feelin' kind of blue
For I was trying to forget
A love that was untrue

[Verse 2]
When by my side I found a lad
His dark eye's all aglow
He looked at me so hopefully
And said is your name Joe

[Pre-Chorus]
For Joe's my daddy's name
And he will soon come sailing 'cross the sea
He said he'd come back by and by
And Joe would never lie

[Chorus]
The warship took my dad away
And mommy needs him so
And every night I hear her pray
Dear God where is my Joe

[Verse 3]
Somewhere back home a guy named Joe is probably sipping beer
Does he know how important he could be if he was here
Has he forgot this little lad who needs his daddy so
A promise made a debt unpaid they're waiting for you Joe

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes Joe's his daddy's name
And he will never sail across that sea
A stranger in a foreign land
He let his heart get out of hand

[Chorus]
The warship took his dad away
And he's too young to know
That off across the ocean
There's a million guys named Joe
