[00:00:00] Joe's been A-Gittin' There - Johnny Horton

[00:00:00] Written by：Marijohn Wilkin/Grady Martin

[00:00:10] There was a Yankee Cornel in 1862

[00:00:14] Who fell in love with a southern belle where the sweet magnolias bloom

[00:00:19] He wondered why folks laughed at him when he went ridin' by

[00:00:25] But little did he know that she was a courtin' on the sly

[00:00:30] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:00:32] Joe's been a gettin' there all this time

[00:00:35] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:00:37] Joe's been a gettin' there beatin' his time

[00:00:44] He walked her up the mountain he named it to her there

[00:00:50] He offered her a band of gold and his name to share

[00:00:54] She said that she would marry him and even set the day

[00:00:59] But little here he know that she loved a soldier boy in grey

[00:01:05] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:01:07] Joe's been a gettin' there all this time

[00:01:09] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:01:12] Joe's been a gettin' there beatin' his time

[00:01:19] She took the love he offered she took his silver too

[00:01:24] She took every little thing from cornel dressed in blue

[00:01:29] She wouldn't let him hold her in a fond embrace

[00:01:34] And when he tried to kiss his bride she laughed right in his face

[00:01:39] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:01:42] Joe's been a gettin' there all this time

[00:01:44] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:01:47] Joe's been a gettin' there beatin' his time

[00:01:54] He woke up one morning and found himself alone

[00:01:59] And all she left was a letter that said goodbye farewell I'm gone

[00:02:04] No doubt he was a mighty man where the heroes fell

[00:02:09] But all is fare in love and war and he lost his southern belle

[00:02:14] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:02:17] Joe's been a gettin' there all this time

[00:02:19] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:02:21] Joe's been a gettin' there beatin' his time

[00:02:24] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'

[00:02:26] Joe's been a gettin' there all this time

[00:02:29] Joe's been a gettin' there Joe's been a flyin'
