[C] [F] [C] [G]
[C] Little Joe, [Em] I [Am] love you so, [C] more each day [Am] goes by.
[C] You may not know, [Am] but little Joe, [F] no one's [G] too big [C] to cry.
[E]
[F] It's such an old [G] ramshackle house, up where those [C] folks moved in.
And there's a little boy, oh, about so [Gm] big, [F] oh, I'd give the world for him.
[C] He looks at you with wistful [G] eyes, and an apple makes him grin.
Oh, I'd [Am] give just [Em] about anything [C] to have a kid like him.
[Am] [A] Now, he ought to be in [Am] Sunday school, [C] but he isn't, I [Em] suppose.
[Am] You know, I wonder if something's wrong.
[C] A person never knows.
[Am] All the clothes I've seen him wear are more than [F] twice his size, [G] and yet he's [C] cute just like he [Dm] is.
[E] He has such [F] great big eyes.
But [G] today, big tears stood in his [F] eyes [C] as I was passing by.
My mommy's sick, he sobbed aloud, [E] and I'm [F] too big to cry.
Well, [C] I picked him up and held him close.
My [G] eyes were misty, too, as I ran up the creaky steps [Am] [B] to see what I [C] could do.
Well, [Em] I did [A] the things a person does [Ab] to help out [C] all I can, [G] but [Am] just one glance told me that Joey's mom [C] was beyond the help of man.
[Am] Take care of little Joe, she said, [C]
[F] as I knelt by her side, [G] and [C] I gave my promise and [Am] held her hand.
[F] And Joey's mother died.
[G] Oh, I had to break the news to [C] Joe and say what had to be said.
But, Lord, [E] how do you [C] tell a kid of [F] three that his mommy's dead?
[C] It was the hardest job I've ever [G] done.
[D] Joe cried, [G] and so did I.
[F] Joe's my boy now, and someday [G] he'll know that no [C] one's too big to cry.
