Dolly Parton – Joshua (Ukulele)

C
Well a good ways down the railroad track 

F
There was this little old rundown shack 

G
And in it lived a man I'd never seen 

C
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man 

F
And you better not set foot on his land 

G                                   C
I didn't think nobody could be that mean 

C
So I took me out walking down the railroad track 

F
I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack 

         G                                         C
And just find out if all them things I'd heard was true 

       F
And it growled at me and I swallowed hard 

      G                               C
And I heard somebody say well who are you 

    F
His beard and his hair was long and black 

    G                               C
And he was the biggest man I'd ever seen 

    F
But he just didn't frighten me 

       G                             C
'Cause somehow I just knew he wasn't mean 

    F
And I saw a smile come across his face 

G
So I smiled back and I told him who I was 

C
He said come on in and pull you up a chair 

F
You might as well since you already here 

    G                       C
And he said you can call me Joshua 

F      C
Joshua Joshua 

G                         C
Whatcha doing living here all alone 

F      C
Joshua Joshua 

G                       C
Ain't you got nobody to call your own 

   G     C
No no no no 

C
We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight 

    F
And we still talking when it come daylight 

    G
And there was just so much we had to say hey 

C
I'd spent my life in an orphan's home 

    F
And just like him I was all alone 

   G                                C
So I said yeah when he asked if I'd stay 

         F
And that little old shack it was a happy home 

G
And we just couldn't help but fall in love 

C
That big black dog and that little old shack 

F
Sitting down by the railroad track 

     G                             C
It's plenty good enough for me and Joshua 

F      C
Joshua Joshua 

    G                          C
Why you're just what I've been looking for 

F      C
Joshua Joshua 

G                           C
You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore 

G
No no 

G          F C
Me and Joshua
