Joe's Place Lyrics - Singles - Bamford Gord

(Gord Bamford / Mike Dekle) 

There's a place called Joe's 

Where some of us go 

When the hard working day is through 

In the neon and smoke 

We laugh and tell jokes 

And throw down a cold one or two 

The jukebox is full of records 

By Willlie, Haggard and Jones 

There's pictures of Elvis and ol' John Wayne 

Hanging side by side on the wall 

Chorus: 

Down at Joe's place It's still the old way 

Pickled eggs in a jar 

And a blue ribbon sign 

Ol' boys and bankers 

Sitting side by side 

Down at Joe's place 

Down at Joe's place 

Along about midnight 

A few hangers on 

Are still hanging out at the bar 

If the telephone rings 

It's an understood thing 

Old Joe don't know where they are 

At a table in the corner 

There's a young man and an empty chair 

His head in his hand, tears in eyes 

And his girlfriend's ring lying there
