(1939) Irving Mills, Duke Ellington 

    

  Way down at Mister Joe's Cafe

They're takin' someone far away

And if you hear a song today

It's a sad tune that you'll be playin':

She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low

They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor Joe

Gonna miss her song

Gonna miss her smile

She'll be travlin' alone down that last long mile

They're sighin'

With all thei trouble and woes

They're Cryin' 'cause they all loved

The gal from Joe's.
