(G. Johnson) 



Kiss my face and slap me on my hands

And if I tumble, please catch me where I land

And I won't look back at where I fall

And if I cry out, who's gonna hear me call?

Hey Joe...



I tell ya, some folks find it hard to get along these days

If this wasn't my home, I don't believe I would stay

I thought I heard somebody ring my bell

I used to know, but now it's hard to tell

Hey Joe...



When I'm gone, who's gonna carry my name?

When I'm gone, lordy, who's gonna carry my name?

Ah, when I'm gone, lordy, who's gonna carry my name?

I feel like an old man playing a young man's game

Hey Joe...



Lord, look at the people

Mmmm, look at the people

Lord, look at the people,

Standing at the judgement, they got to be tried

Standing at the judgement, they got to be tried
