Skyway Joe Songtext
von May Erlewine

Woah skyway joe
yeah he′s takin his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me

now woah skyway joe
yeah he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
thats why hes never comin home to me

now skyway joe grew up in a ghost town
yeah the only thing around was them dirty cole trains
come in at night with soot on his clothes and soot in his eyes
yeah he promised his mama it wouldn't happen again

mama said joe don′t go out on the road out on the town
joe said mama didn't you know im gonna make you proud
im gonna be the best hobo around

now Woah skyway joe
yeah he's takin his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me


now woah skyway joe
yeah he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
thats why hes never comin back to me

skyway joe he′s seen every city light
spent many a lonely nights on them dirty cole trains
he′d sing a little song as he rode along
he said a little song
it helps to ease the pain

mama said joe don't go out on the road out on the town
joe said mama didn′t you know im gonna make you proud
im gonna be the best hobo around

now Woah skyway joe
yeah he's takin his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me

now woah skyway joe
yeah he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
thats why hes never comin back to me


skyway joe he grew old out on the road
yeah he didnt miss a thing
on them dirty cole trains
said ive been lonely
ive been low
ive been fast and ive been slow
but i got myself to blame

mama said joe don′t go out on the road out on the town
joe said mama didn't you know im gonna make you proud
im gonna be the best hobo around

now Woah skyway joe
yeah he′s takin his sweet time
better jump on the high line and come home to me

now woah skyway joe
yeah he only drinks sweet wine
and he drinks it on his own time
thats why hes never comin back to me
