I Wonder What's Become of Joe Songtext

von Ethel Waters

Should old acquaintance be forgot?
I'll tell the world that it should not,
That's why I've got my eyes open,
Lookin' for someone,
And I'm hopin'
You may know the one I mean,
The man I want to find,
'Cause nothin' is and nothin' else will
Be ever on my mind.

I wonder what's become of Joe,
My little Joe;
I'd give all the world to know
Where did he go!

How I'd love to see him
Smilin' again,
Like he used to when
He was my beau; I loved him so dearly!

Wonder if he wonders, too,
Whether I'm gay, or if I am feelin' blue;
What would he say?
Gee, but we were happy,
Not long ago,
I wonder what's become of Joe.

I wonder what's become of Joe,
I'd give all the world to know,
Oh, he used to see me
Once in awhile,
But that once in awhile
Meant more to me than any three others.

Wonder if he wonders, too,
If I'm feelin' kind of blue;
Don't care what's become of last winter's snow,
I just wonder, wonder, what's become of my Joe!
