Il testo della Good-for-nothin' joe

It's gonna rain any minute
There's not a star in sight
Things are mighty slow
I guess, i'll close up shop
And go home to joe

I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good
But i'm not carin' much what happens
I did the best i could
He's just good-for-nothin' joe

But, oh, i love him so
Guess, i'd die if good-for-nothin' joe
Ever tried to leave me flat
Oh yes, i'm certain of that

Folks i know can't understand
Why i must have that man
Lord, he sends me like nobody can
Ain't a woman just like that?

I wouldn't mind doin' what i'm doin'
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore
But when it's slow and i go home to him
Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be

Still there's nothin' i can do
Because i love him so
I'd be good for nothin' too, i know
Without good-for-nothin' joe

I'd be good for nothin' too, i know
Without good-for-nothin' joe
I'm goin' home to joe
