Kiss my face and slap me on my hands And if I tumble, please catch me where I land And I won't look back at where I fall And if I cry out, who's gonna hear me call? Hey Joe... I tell ya, some folks find it hard to get along these days If this wasn't my home, I don't believe I would stay I thought I heard somebody ring my bell I used to know, but now it's hard to tell Hey Joe... When I'm gone, who's gonna carry my name? When I'm gone, lordy, who's gonna carry my name? Ah, when I'm gone, lordy, who's gonna carry my name? I feel like an old man playing a young man's game Hey Joe... Lord, look at the people Mmmm, look at the people Lord, look at the people, Standing at the judgement, they got to be tried Standing at the judgement, they got to be tried
