Jo's Lament

I stayed away so long Jo Don't think that I could come back You're doin' so well without me, girl You'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at You knew me when it was all my world Somehow it's all passed me by But don't let on to my friends, Jo dear That things ain't turned out as planned Chorus You bore my child then I left you aside I don't expect you to forgive But Jo, I can say in a funny old way I was sure that I had it made Instrumental Break Verse 2 I still possess a photograph My memory to refresh But fade it may, Jo, I can say I was sure that I had it made Chorus You bore my child then I left you aside I don't expect you to forgive But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid To sleep alone for the rest of my days
