GOODBYE JOE


Alma Cogan - 1962


I don't wanna know, you know where you can go, to Idaho
 
The day we rode away from Idaho, you said
That I would be the only doll you'd ever wed
I wanna wear a wedding ring before I'm dead
So will you kindly get the heck away from me
 
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
Go on pack your grip, you better take a trip, go back to Idaho
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
I don't wanna know, you know where you can go, to Idaho
 
You go around with other girls and leave me flat
I never thought you'd ever do a thing like that
I got another Romeo, so get your hat
For there are lots of other fishes in the sea
 
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
Go on pack your grip, you better take a trip, go back to Idaho
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
I don't wanna know, you know where you can go, to Idaho
 
Now one day I hope the sheriff will catch up with you
And clap you into jail until you're ninety-two
Then you will miss the lovin' that I give to you
And you will wish that I were in your arms again
 
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
Go on pack your grip, you better take a trip, go back to Idaho
Goodbye Joe, goodbye Joe
I don't wanna know, you know where you can go, to Idaho
I don't wanna know, you know where you can go, to Idaho
