Joe's Been A-Gittin' There - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
There was a Yankee Colonel[00:00:10]
In 1862[00:00:12]
Who fell in Love with a Southern Belle[00:00:15]
Where the Sweet Magnolia Bloom[00:00:17]
He wondered why folks laughed at him[00:00:20]
When He went riding by[00:00:22]
But little did he know that she was[00:00:25]
A-courting on the side[00:00:27]
Joe's Been A-gettin' there[00:00:30]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:00:31]
Joe's been a gettin there[00:00:32]
All this time[00:00:33]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:00:35]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:00:36]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:00:37]
Beatin' his time[00:00:39]
He walked her up the mountain[00:00:45]
He named it to her there[00:00:47]
He offered her a band of gold[00:00:49]
And his name to share[00:00:52]
She said that she would marry him[00:00:54]
And even set the day[00:00:57]
But little did he know that[00:00:59]
She loved a soldier boy in grey[00:01:01]
Joe's Been A-gettin' there[00:01:05]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:01:06]
Joe's been a gettin there[00:01:07]
All this time[00:01:08]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:01:09]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:01:11]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:01:12]
Beatin' his time[00:01:13]
She took the love he offered[00:01:19]
She took his silver too[00:01:22]
She took every little thing from[00:01:24]
Colonel dressed in blue[00:01:27]
She wouldn't let him hold her[00:01:29]
In a fond embrace and[00:01:32]
When he tried to kiss his bride[00:01:34]
She laughed right in his face[00:01:37]
Joe's Been A-gettin' there[00:01:39]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:01:40]
Joe's been a gettin there[00:01:42]
All this time[00:01:43]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:01:44]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:01:46]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:01:47]
Beatin' his time[00:01:48]
He woke up one morning[00:01:54]
And found himself alone[00:01:57]
And all she left was a letter[00:01:59]
That said:[00:02:01]
"Good-bye farewell I'm gone"[00:02:01]
No doubt he was a mighty man[00:02:04]
Where the heroes fell[00:02:06]
But all is fair in love and war[00:02:09]
And he lost his southern belle[00:02:11]
Joe's Been A-gettin' there[00:02:14]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:02:15]
Joe's been a gettin there[00:02:16]
All this time[00:02:18]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:19]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:02:20]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:21]
Beatin' his time[00:02:23]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:24]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:02:25]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:26]
Beatin' his time[00:02:27]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:29]
Joe's been a-flyin[00:02:30]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:31]
Beatin' his time[00:02:32]
Joe's been a-gettin' there[00:02:34]
