Dolly Parton - Joshua

^DWell a good ways down the railroad track ^GThere was this little old rundown shack ^AAnd in it lived a man I'd never seen ^DFolks said he was a mean and a vicious man ^GAnd you better not set foot on his land ^AI didn't think nobody could be that ^Dmean ^DSo I took me out walking down the railroad track ^GI was a-gonna go down to that little old shack And just ^Afind out if all them things I'd heard was ^Dtrue

And it ^Ggrowled at me and I swallowed hard And I ^Aheard somebody say well who are ^Dyou

His ^Gbeard and his hair was long and black And ^Ahe was the biggest man I'd ever ^Dseen

But ^Ghe just didn't frighten me 'Cause ^Asomehow I just knew he wasn't ^Dmean

And ^GI saw a smile come across his face ^ASo I smiled back and I told him who I was ^DHe said come on in and pull you up a chair ^GYou might as well since you already here And ^Ahe said you can call me ^DJoshua

^GJoshua ^DJoshua ^AWhatcha doing living here ^Dall alone ^GJoshua ^DJoshua ^AAin't you got nobody to ^Dcall your own No ^Ano no ^Dno

^DWe talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight And ^Gwe still talking when it come daylight And ^Athere was just so much we had to say hey ^DI'd spent my life in an orphan's home And ^Gjust like him I was all alone So ^AI said yeah when he asked if I'd ^Dstay

And that ^Glittle old shack it was a happy home ^AAnd we just couldn't help but fall in love ^DThat big black dog and that little old shack ^GSitting down by the railroad track It's ^Aplenty good enough for me and ^DJoshua

^GJoshua ^DJoshua Why ^Ayou're just what I've been ^Dlooking for ^GJoshua ^DJoshua ^AYou ain't gonna be lonesome ^Danymore ^ANo no
