(1939) irving mills, duke ellington Way down at mister joe's cafe They're takin' someone far away And if you hear a song today It's a sad tune that you'll be playin': She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor joe Gonna miss her song Gonna miss her smile She'll be travlin' alone down that last long mile They're sighin' With all thei trouble and woes They're cryin' 'cause they all loved The gal from joe's.
