Well a good way down the rail- road track, There was this little old run down shack And in it lived a man I'd never se-e-e-een Folk said he was a mean and a vicious man And you'd better not set foot on his land But I didn't think nobody could be that mean So I took me out walking down the rail-road track I was gonna go down to that little old shack An' just find out if all them things I'd heard was true There was a big black dog laying out in the yard And he growled at me and I swallowed hard And I heard somebody say" well, who are you?" Ooh and there he stood in the door of that shack And his beard and his hair was long and black And he was the biggest man I ever seen When he spoke his voice was low and deep But he just didnt frighten me Cause somehow I just knew he wasnt mean He said " what yuh doing snooping round my place" And I saw a smile come across his face So I smiled back and I told him who I was He said " come on in, pull you up a chair, You might as well since you're already here" And he said " you can call me Joshua" Joshua Joshua what you doing living here all alone Joshua Joshua aint you got nobody to call your own No no no no We talked till the sun was clean out of sight And we still talked when it come daylight There was just so much we had to say I spent my life in an orphans home And just like him I was all alone So I said"yeah" when he asked if I'd stay Ooh we grew close as time went on And that little ole shack it was a happy home And we just couldn't help but fall in love That big black dog and that little ole shack Sitting down by the railroad track Its plenty good enough for me and Joshua Joshua Joshua why your just what I've been a looking for Joshua Joshua you aint gonna be lonesome anymore Oh no Me and Joshua Me and Joshua Me and Joshua
