Smokey Joe
Smokey Joe on Telegraph hill
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
His face was brown from wood smoke
His beard thick with grime
Next to the Torquay bound carriageway
He would while away the time
Smokey Joe on Telegraph hill
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
I read that he came from Cornwall
Where he'd lived in a cave
On the journey home from Exeter
When we saw him we would wave
He is a childhood memory
One that I can't forget
I still look out for him
But time cannot be reset
Smokey Joe on Telegraph hill
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
His face was brown from wood smoke
His beard thick with grime
Next to the Torquay bound carriageway
He would while away the time
Smokey Joe on Telegraph hill
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
I read that he came from Cornwall
Where he'd lived in a cave
On the journey home from Exeter
When we saw him we would wave
He is a childhood memory
One that I can't forget
I still look out for him
But time cannot be reset
Smokey Joe on Telegraph hill
Watching the cars go by
I wonder if he'd still be there
If he was still alive
