Since he often tells stories of his travels in the big World out there
He is locally known as old Joe of elsewhere
In the local pub he is well liked and well known
One can say of Joe in a class of his own
In his late seventies his receding hair it is silver gray
And physically he has known of a far better day
He does not know if he has fathered any children he never had a wife
Though he never was short of women in his life
The highways and byways he has been up and down
He has lived and worked in many a city and many a town
But here in his hometown he will live his last Spring
To grow old at home is a natural thing
He is in the twilight of his living span
Old Joe of elsewhere the well traveled man
Of his years of travel he has great stories to tell
And for one close to eighty he looks fit and well
On Saturday night at the local he is in the mood for song
And is always happy to join in the pub sing along
One who has traveled much in the big World out there
The man known to many as old Joe of elsewhere.
