Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains
Only one run a week comes on roaring down that line
So all he's got to worry 'bout is time.

I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been
He says - Come on sit down Kid, where shall I begin?
He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past
But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last.

And he says - My Corey's coming. No more sad stories coming
My midnight-moonlight-morning-glory's coming aren't you girl?
And

I can say that we are through
And I will almost mean it
But simple words just can't undo
All the ties between us
Part of me will hang on
Long after you're gone
Though it's the right thing
For you, I know
I can watch you leave
But I can't let you go

Chorus:

I will be your friend
And I will dry your tears
I will be the one you give
Your love to through the years
And I will do my best
Not to let you know
That I can watch you leave
But I can't let you go

I will smile and say I'm fine
(I'm fine)
Anytime you ask me
I wish for you a love like mine
One that makes you happy
You'll always own every part
Of this broken heart
Though I'd die 'fore I'd let it show
I can watch you leave
But I can't let you go

Chorus

Bridge:

And I will do my best
Not to let you know
That I can watch you leave
But I can't let you go
Can't let you, can't let you
Can't let you go (X 2)
