Good-for-nothin' Joe Lyrics - Singles - Lena Horne

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
