Uncle Joe

Oh, ever'body come and hear my song.

I'm so God damn' old it won't take long;



I'm a-comin' ninety-two and I'll have you know

That the young folks calls me Uncle Joe.



My God damn' hair has all turn' gray,

Don't make no difference for I still feel gay;



I still step out and dance pretty good ,

But l cain't seem to sing like l used to could.



But when l git out with the gals, b' gee'

I'm just about as young as I used to be.
