Juke Baritone - Old Joe
He flipped his hat atop his crown
Yeah, he scratched his head up and down
And then he picked his smoke up off the ground
You see his bottle it was empty now
That's when he looked and looked around
He looked at me, I heard the sound
I said he looked at me, I heard the sound
He said "Mate" (Mate!)
"Hey, mate" (Mate!)
He said "Mate" (Mate!)
"Hey, mate" (Mate!)
He said "Mate" (Mate!)
"Hey, mate" (Mate!)
He said "Mate" (Mate!)
"Hey, mate" (Mate!)
He said, "Brother man, have you got a buck?
You can see that I'm down here on my luck
You know I gotta get me some to eat"
Well, I know Old Joe, he don't wanna eat
I thinks to myself "That's okay."
Because I'd spent it on booze anyway
That's when Old Joe, he turns to me
And says "Listen, son. Listen carefully."
He says, "God is great and God is good
I got a message from him, it's understood
You know, he gave it to me personally
And I wrote it on my back, you see
But I can't read it. Help me out."
He says, "What's this message all about?"
So, I turn Old Joe around and round
And I looked his back up and down
Right there before my very eyes
A message from God written in disguise
It said, "This is the end of all our times"
"This is the end of all our times"
It said, "This is the end of all our times"
It said, "This is the end of all our times"
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
It said, "This is the end of all our times"
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
He said, "Mate!" (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
He said, "Mate!" (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
See, Old Joe
He was something special, man
Like really really really extra special
Like the kind of special you get on a McDonald's Big Mac burger
But even more
Special than that
And he brought this message down
With his love
And he brought this message down
From heaven above, wherever that may be
Ha! And I saw it with my very own eyes, man
Written all over his back like you wouldn't believe it
It was written, like, millions and millions and millions of times all over his back
God knows how he did it, but he did
See, Old Joe
He was like the son of God
And we just left him there to die
By the side of the road
But if you find that a little bit hard to believe
That the son of God was just a bum like me
Well, I bet you plain as hell
God, open up your eyes
And take a little look at this message written in disguise
'Cause Old Joe, he really was the son of God, man
And he brought all his love
And we just left him. We left him to die
Oh, on the side of the road
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
It said, "This is the end of all our times"
This is the end of all our times
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Mate! (Mate!)
He said, "Mate!" (Mate!)
Hey, mate! (Mate!)
Oh, mate! (Mate!)
He said, "Mate!" (Mate!)
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
This is the end of all our times
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Oh, Joe! (Joe!)
Joe
