J for Johnny - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

Way down at Mister Joe’s Cafe

They’re takin' someone far away,

And if you hear a song today

It’s a sad tune that you’ll be playin':

She’s leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,

They’re grievin' and they’re consolin' poor Joe;

Gonna miss her song

Gonna miss her smile

She’ll be travelin' alone down that last long mile

They’re sighin' with all their trouble and woes

They’re cryin' 'cause they all loved

THE GAL FROM JOE’S.

She’s leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,

They’re grievin' and they’re consolin' poor Joe;

Gonna miss her song

Gonna miss her smile

She’ll be travelin' alone down that last long mile

They’re sighin' with all their trouble and woes

They’re cryin' 'cause they all loved

THE GAL FROM JOE’S.
