Lyrics
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
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.
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe
Little Joe, little Joe, little Joe
