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!

I had the same problem, Joe. A google search turned up nothing for me.

I have no pity...my sleep has been interrupted by it too now!
I do hope someone comes up with it soon.

Hmmmm. All of the elements seem to be in the film Vanity Fair. Becky, Joe, and a dog....but I didn't find anything either.
