Album: Queen of Country Music [Bear Family (Germany)]
(Boudleaux Bryant)
Hey Joe, someone stole your pearly girlie
Walked off with your jolly dolly
Maybe now you chanced to dance with me
Hey Joe, I feel mighty lovey dovey
Let me be your new for toody
I'll be just as sweet, as sweet can be.
Now Joe, I know just how you feel
Can't your fickle sweety left before a heel
But if I could be your sweety pie
I'll promise you no other guy
Would steal me from you
Hey Joe, go put on your dancin' shoes
And I'll help you forget your blues
I've simply got to have you for my own.
--- Instrumental ---
Hey Joe, please don't think I'm nuddy noddy
Don't think I'm a flirty girly
'Cause I let You Know I Go For You
Hey Joe, my poor heart is yearning burning
Just to hold you tightly nighty
Do I need you yes I guess I do.
I love you Joe, that's how I feel
If I have a chance to prove my love is real
I'll be true to you forever
And I swear no one could ever
Hope to steal me from you.
Hey Joe, if you want me tell me so
My heart is packed and set to go
I want you Joe, I need you for my own...
