It seems like happiness is just a thing called joe

He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow

He's got a kiss that makes the angels heave a sigh

When they know my little joe is passing by

Sometimes the cabin's gloomy

And the table's bare

But then he'll kiss me

And it's christmas everywhere

Trouble's fly away

And life is easy go

Does he love me good

That's all i need to know

Seems like happiness is

Just a thing called joe
