Good-For-Nothin' Joe Songtext
von Kay Starr

It′s gonna rain any minute,
There's not a star in sight;
Things are mighty slow,
I guess I′ll close up shop and go home to Joe.

I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good,
But I'm not carin′ much what happens,
I did the best I could!

He′s just good for nothin' Joe,
But oh, I love him so!
Guess I′d die if good for nothin' Joe ever tried to leave me flat,
Oh yes, I′m certain of that!


Folks I know can't understand
Why I must have that man;
Lord, he sends me like nobody can,
Ain′t a woman just like that!

I wouldn't mind doin' what I′m doin′,
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore,
But when it′s slow and I go home to him,
Instead of sympathy,
He's just as mean as can be!

Still, there′s nothin' I can do now
Because I love him so,
I′d be good for nothin' too, I know
Without good for nothin' Joe.

I′d be good for nothin′ too, I know
Without good for nothin' Joe,
I′m goin' home to Joe!
