"Grandpa Joe" lyrics
Matthew Barber & Jill Barber Lyrics
Somewhere in the borderlands one among the many clans
Passed the name onto a man and he passed it on again
To a maiden full of pride who was a bride before he died
But we never got to know the man who be Grandpa Joe
The man who be Grandpa Joe
Well he travelled overseas, headed west to look for leaves
And when war broke out home with his new country he goes
Back cross the sea to turn the time, that's when Joseph met his bride
But there's so much we don't know and never will bout Grandpa Joe
And never will bout Grandpa Joe
As a victory when he returned when a [?] is where he earned
A living for his family on he laughs and very free
Now the generation's turned and the boy will someday learn
Everything there is to know about old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
Passed the name onto a man and he passed it on again
To a maiden full of pride who was a bride before he died
But we never got to know the man who be Grandpa Joe
The man who be Grandpa Joe
Well he travelled overseas, headed west to look for leaves
And when war broke out home with his new country he goes
Back cross the sea to turn the time, that's when Joseph met his bride
But there's so much we don't know and never will bout Grandpa Joe
And never will bout Grandpa Joe
As a victory when he returned when a [?] is where he earned
A living for his family on he laughs and very free
Now the generation's turned and the boy will someday learn
Everything there is to know about old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
About old great Grandpa Joe
