I`m Tired Joey Boy Lyrics

I`m Tired Joey Boy lyrics

Tired Joey Boy

While you're out with the sheep

My life is so troubled

Now I can't go to sleep



I would walk myself out

But the streets are so dark

I shall wait till the morning

And walk in the park



This life is so simple

When one is at home

And I'm never complaining

When there's work to be done



Oh, I'm tired Joey Boy

Of the makings of men

I would like to be

Cheerful again



Ambition will take you

Ride you too far

And conservatism bring you

To boredom once more



Sit down by the river

Watch the stream flow

Recall all the dreams

That you once used to know



Things you've forgotten

Took you away

Pastures not greener

But meaner



Love of the simple

Is all that I need

I've no time for schism

Or lovers of greed



Go up to the mountain

Go up to the glen

When silence will touch you

And heartbreak will mend
