Joy

Joy don’t let me down

My heart as blue as setting sun

Old bread is on the table dried in wind

As cracking as my wrinkled skin

As my witless blood

Joy don’t let me down

I’m wasted in gin but now I can really see

In the forest hares run and robins chirp

My saw knows the rings of maple tree

My net knows the tracks of swimming bass

Joy Joy Joy

Joy Joy Joy

Joy don’t let me down

Your smile as bright as the setting sun

Tell me about your old good time

I’m sorry can’t follow you to the heaven

I’d like to hold my shotgun when I die

Joy don’t let me down

My heart as blue as setting sun

Old bread is on the table dried in wind

As cracking as my wrinkled skin

As my witless blood
