Lyrics

Joe was born in New York City,

Son of Paul and Catherine

Always down and always out,

But his 'morrows always seemed jus' fine

There will be bigotry and

There will be open minds

There will be days of peace

You'll never have the time

As long as you keep a straight face

I will be there when you die

I was born in east kentucky,

Home of where the grass is dyed

Always down and always out,

But my 'morrows always seemed just fine

There will be bigotry and

There will be open minds

There will be days of peace

You'll never have the time

As long as you keep a straight face

I will be there when you die.
