Текст песни Oh Joseph

and Joseph did you feel small
oh Joseph I bet you felt small
she wouldn't give it up for you
and now she's carrying another man's child
and is he bigger and better than you?
oh, you've got a feeling that he is

and now you're walking from town to town
and you're doing the honourable thing
and your mother, she told you to get out
while you're still young

and Mary, she doesn't seem concerned
and does she take your love for granted
and yes, she's a little bit scared
but after all she's only young

Joseph, are you sure you're doing the right thing
I know that you're in love with her
but it's not too late to forget
Darling, don't go making moves that you're going to regret

listen to your mother boy
don't you be a sucker
for some girl who looks like butter wouldn't melt

go back to your nails and hammer
just because you've got a stammer
don't mean you can't find another girl

'cause everybody's seen her hanging around
lifting that blue dress up off the ground
talking to shepherds, talking to sheep
staying up all night when she should have been asleep with you

so Joseph, oh Joseph,
what are you going to do?
