Lyrics
Joseph City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Red, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City, you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the East
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like rats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Let's take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road, it's way too hot
Red, green, blue, yellow
