Dolly Parton

^D Well a good ways down the railroad track
^G There was this little old rundown shack
^A And in it lived a man I'd never seen
^D Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
^G And you better not set foot on his land
^A I didn't think nobody could be that ^D mean
^D So I took me out walking down the railroad track
^G I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack
And just ^A find out if all them things I'd heard was ^D true
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
And it ^G growled at me and I swallowed hard
And I ^A heard somebody say well who are ^D you
Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack
His ^G beard and his hair was long and black
And ^A he was the biggest man I'd ever ^D seen
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
But ^G he just didn't frighten me
'Cause ^A somehow I just knew he wasn't ^D mean
He said what you doing snooping 'round my place
And ^G I saw a smile come across his face
^A So I smiled back and I told him who I was
^D He said come on in and pull you up a chair
^G You might as well since you already here
And ^A he said you can call me ^D Joshua
^G Joshua ^D Joshua
^A Whatcha doing living here ^D all alone
^G Joshua ^D Joshua
^A Ain't you got nobody to ^D call your own
No ^A no no ^D no
^D We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight
And ^G we still talking when it come daylight
And ^A there was just so much we had to say hey
^D I'd spent my life in an orphan's home
And ^G just like him I was all alone
So ^A I said yeah when he asked if I'd ^D stay
Oh we grew closer as time went on
And that ^G little old shack it was a happy home
^A And we just couldn't help but fall in love
^D That big black dog and that little old shack
^G Sitting down by the railroad track
It's ^A plenty good enough for me and ^D Joshua
^G Joshua ^D Joshua
Why ^A you're just what I've been ^D looking for
^G Joshua ^D Joshua
^A You ain't gonna be lonesome ^D anymore
^A No no
^A Me and Josh ^G ua ^D
Me and Joshua
Me and Joshua yeah yeah
Me and Joshua
