[Verse 1]
I stepped ashore in Tokyo
Feelin' kind of blue
For I was trying to forget
A love that was untrue
[Verse 2]
When by my side I found a lad
His dark eye's all aglow
He looked at me so hopefully
And said is your name Joe
[Pre-Chorus]
For Joe's my daddy's name
And he will soon come sailing 'cross the sea
He said he'd come back by and by
And Joe would never lie
[Chorus]
The warship took my dad away
And mommy needs him so
And every night I hear her pray
Dear God where is my Joe
[Verse 3]
Somewhere back home a guy named Joe is probably sipping beer
Does he know how important he could be if he was here
Has he forgot this little lad who needs his daddy so
A promise made a debt unpaid they're waiting for you Joe
