Bob Dylan – Joey (Alternate Version)
Joey, Joey
King of the streets child of clay
Joey, Joey
What made them want to come and blow you away.Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep
I heard his best friend Frankie say, “He ain’t dead he’s just asleep”
Then I saw the old man’s limousine head back towards the grave
I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save.The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of the Brooklyn mourned
They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was born
And someday if God’s in heaven overlooking his preserve
I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve.Joey, Joey
King of the streets child of clay
Joey, Joey
What made them want to come and blow you away.
