Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
Well, a (D major) good ways down
the railroad track
There (G major) was this little old rundown shack
(A major) And in it lived a man (G major) I'd never seen (A major)
Folks (D major) said he was a mean and a
vicious man
And you bet (G major) ter not set foot on his land
But (A major) I didn't think nobody
could be that mean (D major)

Verse 2
So I took (D major) me out walking down
the railroad track
I was a-gonna (G major) go go down
to that little old shack
And just (A major) find out if all them things (G major)
I'd heard was (A major) true
There was a (D major) big black dog
laying out in the yard
And it growled at me and I
swallowed hard
And I (A major) heard somebody say,
"well, who are (D major) you?"
Oh, and there he stood
in the door of that shack
And his (G major) beard and his hair
was long and black
And he (A major) was the biggest
man (G major) I'd ever seen (A major)
Verse 3
When he spoke (D major) his voice
was low and deep
But (G major) he just didn't frighten me
'Cause (A major) somehow I just
knew he wasn't mean (D major)
He said, "What you doing snooping
'round my place?"
Then (G major) I saw a smile come across his face
So (A major) I smiled back and I told (G major)
him who I was (A major)
He said (D major) come on in and pull you up a chair
You (G major) might as well since you already here
And (A major) he said,
"You can call me Joshua" (D major)
Verse 4
(G major) Joshua, (D major) Joshua
Whatcha (A major) doing living here (D major) all alone?
(G major) Joshua, (D major) Joshua
Ain't you (A major) got nobody to (G major) call your (D major) own?
No no, (E major) no no
Verse 5
(E major)
We talked 'til the sun was
clean out of sight
And we (A major) still talkin' when it
come daylight
And there (B major) was just so much (A major) we had to say (B major)
I'd (E major) spent my life in an orphan's home
And (A major) just like him I was all alone
So (B major) I said, "Yeah," when
he asked if I'd stay (E major)
Oh, we grew closer as time went on
And that (A major) little old shack
it was a happy home
And (B major) we just couldn't help (A major) but fall in love (B major)
That big (E major) black dog and that
little old shack
(A major) Sitting down by the railroad track
It's (B major) plenty good enough
for me and Joshua (E major)
Verse 6
(A major) Joshua, Joshua (E major)
Why (B major) you're just what I've
been (E major) looking for
(A major) Joshua, (E major) Joshua
You ain't (B major) gonna be
lonesome (A major) any (E major) more
No no
