歌曲歌詞
Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
They left him in the railroad yard
when they took away the trains
Only one run a week comes on
roaring down that line
So all he got to worry 'bout is time
I come by in the evening to hea
r 'bout where he's been
He says come on sit down kid
where shall I begin
He starts telling me the stories
of the glories of his past
But he always saves the story
of his Corey for the last
And he says my Corey's
coming no more sad stories coming
My midnight moonlight morning glory's
coming aren't you girl
And like I told you when she holds you
She enfolds you in her world
I was quite surprised to find out
all the places that he knew
And so I asked the towns folk
if his stories were true
Well they said old John was born here
he's lived here all his life
He's never had a woman let alone a wife
And very soon you'll find out
as you check around
That no one named Corey's
ever lived in this town
So I chided the old man
'bout the truth that I had heard
He smiled and said reality is only just a word
Can't you see my Corey's coming
No more sad stories coming
My midnight moonlight morning glory's
coming aren't you girl
And like I told you when she holds you
she enfolds you in her world
I came by one evening
but he did not hear my shout
I looked in the window
and saw the fire was out
When he would not wake up
I forced in the door
And I saw that old John Joseph
would tell stories no more
The scene at the graveyard
three of us were there
Me and the grave digger
heard the parson's prayer
He said we need not grieve for this man
For we know that god cares
They put the cold dirt over him
left me on my own
When at last I looked up
I saw I was not alone
So I said if you're a relative
he had a peaceful end
That's when she said my name is Corey
You can say I'm just a friend
Corey's coming no more sad stories coming
My midnight moonlight morning glory's
