Let me tell the sad sad story of poor old Joe He was born a country boy, he's living low Just sittin' on a railroad station Watching all the trains go by He saw a girl, her smile drove him insane She was passing on a train

 

Just to catch a glimpse of her face, he waited every day Only for a minute before she moved away But in his imagination She'd step off to say hello There won't be an answer just because She's ridin' on a train

 

She wore some red and yellow roses And even diamonds in her hair She had the beauty of a queen Loveliness you've never seen Nothing could with it compare She wore some red and yellow roses And even diamonds in her hair She didn't have an eye for Joe But the poor man didn't know He believed in his affair

 

Oh he really fell in love with that travelling girl He bought her a golden ring, a beautiful pearl Just sittin' on a railroad station Watching all the trains go by He won't be able just to give it her because She's riding on a train

 

She wore some red and yellow roses And even diamonds in her hair She had the beauty of a queen Loveliness you've never seen Nothing could with it compare She wore some red and yellow roses And even diamonds in her hair She didn't have an eye for Joe But the poor man didn't know He believed in his affair Appears on: Dutch albums Congratulations Videos Videocollectie deel 6 De mooiste muziek specials Compilations El Cordobes The star collection Het mooiste van BZN Specials Viva el BZN
