Joe Purdy - Canyon Joe Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Well I live in the canyon
  • Where the old coyotes howl
  • And they come down from the mountains when the dogs begin to growl
  • And they meet up in the darkness where they fight until the death
  • When the morning sun is rising I will bury who they left
  • And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • And I stay in the cabin
  • Where I work my hands to bleed
  • Swing the hammer to the nail
  • And I swing the axe onto the tree
  • And I once cleared these woods
  • -yeah there used to be a path
  • And now the trees have overgrown just to prove that nothing lasts
  • And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • The old man went crazy
  • He lives high up on the ridge
  • He used to tell me all the stories of the church house and the bridge
  • But the bridge, she washed away your sin
  • The church house- it got burned
  • 'Cause this world has gone angry and some people never learn
  • And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • And I once loved a woman
  • Yes and Georgia was her name
  • We met out in the foothills of the Ozark Mountain Range
  • We saw the world together
  • Least the parts that we love most
  • She still comes to me in dreams
  • I am still haunted with her ghost
  • And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • And all my thoughts are heavy
  • My beard, it has grown long
  • And I search the face of six-strings for an old familiar song
  • But the chords, they all sound foreign like the places that I've been
  • So I close my eyes to sleep
  • Tomorrow I will try again
  • And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • Oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe
  • Singing oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe
