Catfish Joe (He's Gone Now) Poem by David Darbyshire

What ever happened to catfish Joe?
Where has he been where did he go?
I used to see him everyday
Now it seems he's gone away

I really miss old Joe's smile and funny ways
He always made me laugh on those sad days
We would eat drink and smoke
I always listened when he spoke

He had many stories and tales
Of his days along the train rails
Hobos and tramps police and jails
The exciting times from his trails

I think old Joe is gone now
To tell his stories I do vow
He went to the great trainstation in the sky
I only wish I could have said good-bye
