Mmm...
Well a good ways
down the railroad track
there was this little
old rundown shack
And in it lived a man
I'd never seen
Folks said he was a
mean and a vicious man
And you better not
set foot on his land
But I didn't think nobody
could be that mean
So I took me out walking
down the railroad track
I was a-gonna go down
to that little old shack
And just find out
if all them things
I'd heard was true
There was a big
black dog laying
down in the yard
And it growled at me
and I swallowed hard
And I heard somebody
say, well who are you?
Oh and there he stood
in the door of that shack
and his beard and his hair
was long and black
And he was the biggest
man I'd ever seen
When he spoke
his voice was
low and deep
But he just didn't
frighten me
'Cos somehow I just
knew he wasn't mean
He said, what you doing
snooping 'round my place
And I saw a smile
come across his face
So I smiled back and
I told him who I was
He said come on in
and pull you up a chair
You might as well
since you already here
And he said you
can call me Joshua
Joshua Joshua
Whatcha doing living
here all alone?
Joshua Joshua
Ain't you got nobody
to call your own?
No no, no no
We talked till the sun
was clean out of sight
And were still talking
when it come daylight
And there was just so
much we had to say hey
I'd spent my life
in an orphan's home
And just like him
I was all alone
So I said "yeah" when
he asked if I'd stay
Oh we grew closer
as time went on
And that little old shack
it was a happy home
And we just couldn't
help but fall in love
That big black dog
and that little old shack
Sitting down by
the railroad track
It's plenty good enough
for me and Joshua
Joshua Joshua
Why you're just what
I've been looking for
Joshua Joshua
You ain't gonna be
lonesome anymore
No no
Yodel-ay-ho
lay-ee-hee...
ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba
Me and Joshua
Me and Joshua
