Joshua Chords by Dolly Parton Artist - Dolly Parton Song - Joshua D Well a good ways down the railroad track G There was this little old rundown shack A And in it lived a man I'd never seen D Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man G And you better not set foot on his land A D I didn't think nobody could be that mean D So I took me out walking down the railroad track G I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack A D And just find out if all them things I'd heard was true There was a big black dog laying out in the yard G And it growled at me and I swallowed hard A D And I heard somebody say well who are you Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack G His beard and his hair was long and black A D And he was the biggest man I'd ever seen When he spoke his voice was low and deep G But he just didn't frighten me A D 'Cause somehow I just knew he wasn't mean He said what you doing snooping 'round my place G And I saw a smile come across his face A So I smiled back and I told him who I was D He said come on in and pull you up a chair G You might as well since you already here A D And he said you can call me Joshua G D Joshua Joshua A D Whatcha doing living here all alone G D Joshua Joshua A D Ain't you got nobody to call your own A D No no no no D We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight G And we still talking when it come daylight A And there was just so much we had to say hey D I'd spent my life in an orphan's home G And just like him I was all alone A D So I said yeah when he asked if I'd stay Oh we grew closer as time went on G And that little old shack it was a happy home A And we just couldn't help but fall in love D That big black dog and that little old shack G Sitting down by the railroad track A D It's plenty good enough for me and Joshua G D Joshua Joshua A D Why you're just what I've been looking for G D Joshua Joshua A D You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore A No no A G D Me and Joshua Me and Joshua Me and Joshua yeah yeah Me and Joshua
