I Wonder What’s Become of Joe

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!
