CFCF
When-ever I'm out a wandering, chasing a rainbow dream.

I often stop and think a-bout, a place I've never seen.

Where friendly folks can gather, and raise the rafters high.
CC/BAmAm/GFGC
With songs and tales of yester year, un-til they say good-bye.
Chorus 1:
Well...
FCFC
There's a puppy in the parlour, and a skillet on the stove,
FCGC
And a smelly old blanket, that a Navajo wove.
FCFC
There's a chicken on the table, but you got to say grace.
FCGCFCG
There's always something cooking at Old Joe's Place.
Verse 2:
CFCF
Now folks come by round evening time, soon as the sun goes down.
CC/BAmAm/GD7G
Some drop in from right next door, and some from out of town. Pick it!
Chorus 2:
Well...
FCFC
There's a puppy in the parlour, and a skillet on the stove,
FCGC
And a smelly old blanket, that a Navajo wove.
FCFC
There's popcorn in the popper, and a porker in the pot.

There's pie in the pantry, and the coffee's always hot.

There's a chicken on the table, but you got to say grace.

There's always something cooking at Old Joe's Place.

Now they don't allow no frowns inside; leave them by the door.

So if you've got a hankerin', I'll tell you where to go.

Just look for the busted neon sign, that flashes... Ea A Oe's.

Well...
