Tina charles joe lyrics

When my daddy came home

With a bundle under his cloth

And when he opened it up

I felt a lump down in my throat 

It was a little puppy from shivering in the snow 

I said daddy, daddy 

Please call the puppy Joe



Daddy daddy, please call the puppy Joe

Ill do anything, but please dont make him go

Daddy, daddy please I love him so 

Because hes not very big 

And its so cold out in the snow 



After a year or so 

There was a dog show in town 

Well, I gave Joe a wash 

Put on a fancy collar I had found

And when the dog down the road won first price

I didnt care 

To me Joe was the champ 

There wasnt any other dog there



Repeat



Years rolled on

Then dad said, I know its a pity 

But I got a new job

And you cant keep a dog in the city

I said, daddy , daddy, I got to take Joe

There was a tear in his eye as he said no



Daddy, daddy, please, Ive got to take Joe

Ill do anything please dont make him go 

Daddy, daddy, please, I love him so 

Because hes not very big 

And its so cold out in the snow 



Well, we found Joe a home

But I knew he wouldnt settle down

And it wouldnt be long 

Before Joe was heading to town

But Joe was so old

And the city was such a long way

I guess he stopped for a rest 

And he is still resting today
