lyrics

He was workin’ for you, workin’ for me
While we were workin’ in the factory
Papa Joe, Papa Joe
Good old Papa Joe


Got himself elected up to the hill
To be the voice of the boys at the mill
Papa Joe, Papa Joe
Good old Papa Joe

But politics is a dicey game
Facts and truth ain’t quite the same
Dontcha know Papa Joe, Papa Joe


Party boss said to Papa Joe
You best do what you be told
Papa Joe, Papa Joe, Papa Joe

Joe said “Take your party line
And put it where the sun don’t shine”
Way to go Papa Joe
Good old Papa Joe

They found him right outside of town
In a maple grove where the shot him down
Papa Joe, Papa Joe, Papa Joe

Poured his ashes in Miller Creek
Preacher cried when he tried to speak for
Papa Joe, Papa Joe
Poor old Papa Joe

He had gumption he had brass
Stood up straight for the working class
Papa Joe, Papa Joe
Good old Papa Joe
