Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe (Vers. 1) - Ethel Waters

It seem like happiness is jes' a thing called Joe

He’s got a smile that makes the lilac wanna grow

He’s got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh

When they know Little Joe’s passing by

Sometime the cabin gloomy an' the table bare

Soon he kiss me an' it’s Christmas ev’rywhere

Troubles fly away an' life is easy go

Does he love me good?

That’s all I need to know

Seem like happiness is jes' a thing called Joe

He’s got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh

When they know Little Joe’s passing by

Sometime the cabin gloomy an' the table bare

Soon he kiss me, Lord it’s Christmas ev’rywhere

Troubles fly away an' life is easy go

Does he love me good?

That’s all I has to know

Seem like happiness is jes' a thing called Joe
