Doesnt ring a bell with me...any mudcatter know this one?

Does anyone remember a song from probably the late 70's. I think it was called "Joey." It used to scare me as a kid. I don't recall if it was about death or about a boy who ran away. The only lyrics I remember are:

Joey, the corn is still in the meadow.
Joey, the summer skies are blue.
Joey, young Becky married last (summer?)

and then there was a line about a dog still scratchin' at the door.

Please help me! I can't sleep until I figure out who did this song!
