lyrics

BABY JOE

Let me put you up on my shoulders
While the wild birds fly over
And inside the cathedral

We will sing La Forza del Destino
On our way home from the grocery
Marching closely behind me

Sing Splendore Solo Mio

While the man takes your photo

Gonna put your name on it
Gonna put a frame on it
Put it in that living room
Gonna stand away from it
Gonna see a change come
And try to take you
Baby Joe

Stay while you’re young and restless
Stay with your feet on the ground
Stay away from the wars a raging
Stay where you still can be found
But gone away so far

Far from ghost of your grandfather
I will call him soldato mio

As the world makes me harden

Gonna put your name on it
Gonna put a flame on it
Put it in that living room
Gonna have an ache for it
Gonna lie awake for it
See what you can do
Baby Joe
Baby Joe
Baby Joe
March on home

Come marching home
Baby Joe
