作词 : Thompson | |
Carrie ran a murderous crew | |
Dedicated through and through | |
And the chance to provethey never squandered | |
And they liked to kill so clean | |
Save the innocent, kill the mean | |
But from time to time,a bullet wandered | |
Carrie kept her souvenirs | |
Kept her scrapbook down the years | |
Of her brave boys, how she cried to read it | |
And a few fell by the way | |
Or lost the stomach for the fray | |
So young blood was always needed | |
Carrie noticed him right away | |
The way his whole body would sway | |
Like a trawler boy | |
Finding his legs ashore | |
They said he was just nineteen | |
A head case but his record was clean | |
Just the kind | |
They were looking for | |
Carrie watched him through the crack | |
As they teased him behind his back | |
They called him | |
Little Joe' | |
Cos he scraped the ceiling | |
And when he was the worse for wear | |
She took him up the stair | |
And soon he fell | |
For her brand of healing | |
She said, | |
I'll lie like a rose on your pillow | |
Let me twine the laurel in your hair | |
I want to smell my love on your fingers | |
If you want to be mine, | |
Little Joe | |
You must harden your mind, | |
Little Joe | |
We've got to fight for what is ours | |
Bring peace to the grave of my brother | |
Bring peace to the grave of my father | |
Dry the old eyes of my mother | |
Little Joe | |
There's a roadblock down the way | |
Thick with soldiers night and day | |
They'll hear the noise | |
All the way to | |
GlengarryIf you show you've got the stuff | |
That you're sworn and brave enough | |
Then you'll stand tall | |
In the eyes of your | |
CarrieAnd | |
I will lie like a rose on your pillow | |
And I'll twine the laurel in your hair | |
I want to smell revenge on your fingers | |
Guns are the | |
Tongues, Little | |
JoeThe only words we know | |
The only sound that'll reach their ears | |
Bring peace to the grave of my brother | |
Bring peace to the grave of my father | |
Dry the old eyes of my mother | |
Little Joe | |
Now Little | |
Joe would've jumped clear | |
But for the awful fear | |
Of scraping his knees there on the gravel | |
The car was a rolling bomb | |
Blew all to | |
Kingdom Come | |
They marvelled how far | |
His boots had travelled | |
Another hero snatched from my pillow | |
I used to twine the laurel in his hair | |
I want to smell sacrifice on my fingers | |
Guns are the | |
Tongues, Little | |
JoeThe only words we know | |
The only sound that'll reach their ears | |
Bring peace to the grave of my brother | |
Bring peace to the grave of my father | |
Dry the old eyes of my mother | |
Little Joe |
