Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Joshua Come Home Lyrics

Joshua come back home to the island
Everyone dance in the street
Joshua come back home to the island
Happiness be complete.

Mothers will talk again to their son
Happy the talk is no longer in one
While Stephen begins and John sped the story on.

Joshua been gone too long, princess of the islands fade
Cries of pain and sorrow but there's no good work today
Joshua said he come soon, bring good work to everyone
Get together at sundown like crying in the work we done.

Craft two blocks together, singing about de land
Joyful congregation dancin' in the sand
No want to look to Babylon, Kingdom will come right here
Joyful celebration, make the slaver shake with fear.

Joshua come back home to the island
Everyone dance in the street
Joshua come back home to the island
Happiness be complete. Mothers will talk again to their son
Happy the talk is no longer in one
While Stephen begins and John sped the story on.

Joshua talk to the angels, watch the sun on the western sea
Silent contemplation, find the man to make us free
Joshua pay a dime a clam, charge a dime for a dozen eggs
Plenty money left for rum to add power to our dancin' legs
Plenty money left for rum to add power to our dancin' legs.

Joshua come back home to the island
Everyone dance in the street
Joshua come back home to the island
Happiness be complete.

Mothers will talk again to their son
Happy the talk is no longer in one
While Stephen begins and John sped the story on
While Stephen begins and John sped the story on
While Stephen begins and John sped the story on.
