Meanwhile Down at Joe's

(Harlan Howard)



I iron and I sew as I watch the late show

But something moist keeps getting in my eyes

He called and said don't wait he'd be working late

And so another lonely night goes by.



Meanwhile down at Joe's the music's playing

I can almost see him there holding her so tight

Meanwhile here at home the baby's crying

All in all it's just another night.



--- Instrumental ---



I polish and I clean then read a magazine

It's time for bed he'll soon be slipping in

Tomorrow he will be sweet and kind to me

He'll love me until he works late again.



Meanwhile down at Joe's the music's playing

I can almost see him there holding her so tight

Meanwhile here at home the baby's crying

All in all it's just another night...
