Lyrics
HOMELESS JOE Homeless Joe wore a fabled coat of many colors He was a favorite son among many brothers Who put him in deep hole an' brought him up again And sold him down the river to slave in Egypt land Some say he wasn't real, just an ancient metaphor Of the king of everything who for our sake became poor Some say he was a livin' symbol of human salvation Descending from a righteous king and father of nations Homeless Joe, there's so many wrongs to right With so many causes to fight, who's guitar gently weeps for you tonight? Homeless Joe wore a coat of a darker color He knew he was as good as the rich light brothers Who chained him by the neck after payin' a ship's captain And sold him down the river to slave in America land We marched for freedom in '63, did a concert for Bangladesh Live Aid, Farm Aid, Life Earth, you know, the world's a terrible mess But when it comes to helpin' the poor on the streets of our own nation We turn our backs on the king of kings and father of creation Homeless Joe, there's so many wrongs to right With so many causes to fight, who's guitar gently weeps for you tonight? Now, Joe wears a faded coat of military colors He grew up in Bakersfield, Lake Tahoe in the summers Then came home from the war with no job or place to go And ended up in LA, just another discarded soldier on Skid Row
