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 seen
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 railroad track
I was gonna go down, to that little old shack
And 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?"
Oh, 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 wasn't mean
He said, "What ya doing snoopin' '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 and pull you up a chair
You might as well, since you're already here."
And he said, "You can call me Joshua"
Oh, Joshua, Joshua, what you doing, living here all alone?
Joshua, Joshua, ain't 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
But there was just so much we had to say, hey
Now, I'd spent my life in an orphan's home
And just like him, I was all alone
So, I said, "Yeah." when he asked if I'd stay
Well, we grew close, as time went on
And that little ole shack, was a happy home
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
That big black dog and that little ole shack
A sittin' down, by the railroad track
It's plenty good enough, for me and Joshua
Joshua, Joshua, why you're just what I've been a looking for
Joshua, Joshua, you ain't gonna be lonesome anymore, no-no
Me and Joshua, me and Joshua
Me and Joshua
