A different song with the same title: CURLY JOE Words, Rose Maddox; music, Carl Maddox, ©1962. As recorded by Rose Maddox 1. I was born out in the country, but to the city I did go. I fell in love with a dashing stranger; at first his name I did not know. 2. I met him in the park one evening as the sun was sinking low. When I asked him what they called him, he smiled and said: "I'm Curly Joe." 3. Yes, his hair was dark and Curly and his eyes were all aglow. In my dreams I'm always strolling hand in hand with Curly Joe. 4. My daddy said we could not marry; mother said I could not go. Now all that's left are dreams and mem'ries of my darling Curly Joe. [Repeat 3]
