Hey Joe

Walking through the garden on a summer's eve
 I saw a little blackbird up in the locust tree
 I sat up there beside him and he raised his head
 He looked up at me, and this is what he said
 He said, "Tell me, Mr. Martin, why is the night so long?
 Why am I so scared?
 Am I doing something wrong?"
 I said, "Listen, little buddy," and I leaned down low
 "Sit close to me, and I'll tell you what I know
 Hey Joe, you know no one knows nothing
 Hey Joe, we're all lost just like you
 Hey Joe, don't know where the world's turning
 So hey Joe, don't follow me, I'm following you"
 And all the little crickets sang their little songs
 And all the buzzing bees, they all buzzed along
 So we listened to the music in the gentle breeze
 Sure is nice here, Joe, in this lovely locust tree
 But hey Joe, you know my heart gets so lonely
 Hey Joe, and the world's so hard for me
 Hey Joe, you know, sometimes I wonder
 If this whole world's only make-believe
 ♪
 (Hey Joe) Sometimes I feel like a baby turtle
 (Hey Joe) On that treacherous beach
 (Hey Joe) I'm so close to the ocean
 But hey, Joe, that ocean's just out of my reach
 (Hey Joe) So sit close to me, buddy
 (Hey Joe) And I'll sit close to thee, yessirree
 (Hey Joe) Glad I ran into you, Joe
 Up here in this lovely locust tree
 Hey Joe
 Hey Joe
 Hey Joe
