lyrics

Old Joes Cane (words & music David Ross Macdonald)

Corner racked against the wall, surest sign that Joes at home
Never steps outside alone without his knuckled brass and bone

And with each step without a thought he recalls the memories caught
Between the cracks that vein and fork beneath the rhythm of his walk

Be my companion dear, steady my step and I’ll hold you near
With leather on stone I’ll weather you alone with my knuckled brass and bone

Half a mile out of town, half a smile half a frown
Shadowed steeple rakes the ground you leave a flower on her crown

You were my companion dear and you steadied my step and I held you near
With leather on stone, I weather you alone with my knuckled brass and bone

Lucky if he beats the rain, lucky of he meets the train
Lucky if he makes it home, lucky knuckled brass and bone
Finer than her wedding gown, china or the letters found
Echoes is the crystal sound, Joes cane upon the cobbled ground

Be my companion dear, steady my step and I’ll hold you near
With leather on stone I’ll weather you alone with my knuckled brass and bone
