Old Joe


Old Joe pulled the wagon forward
Pots went jangle on its side 
Little children tucked up warmly 
Rocked to sleep upon the ride 
Old Joe's hooves kept steady rhythm 
Through the lonely lanes ahead 
Up above the sunset settled 
Turning sky a shade of red
Old Joe, ever faithful leading
Vardo wheels roll close behind 
Come the morning he can rest 
His harness they will then unbind 
Old Joe free to wander meadows 
Underneath the new days sun
Family safe at destination 
Old Joe's work now done
