Me And Kettle Joe

Lyrics: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay
Music: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay

I saw the light in the dark eyes of Kettle Joe
Tapping his foot on the floor
Picking away as I walked past the door
Then I heard the strum of an angel through a guitar man
Fooling around with his tone
Stuck in my shoes, I was chilled to my bones

So I, I, I, well I had to stay
Holding my breath to hear more
Straining my ear as I stood at the door
Then he looked at me across the room, this Kettle Joe
Taking me so by surprise
I heard him say with a grin in his eye

It�s alright now
Gets a little crazy, but it�s alright, yeah
When music�s playing you know it�s alright

Joe motioned to me with a matchbook and a cigarette
Leaning inside to see more
I stumbled in through a magical door
Sounds of a thousand lands flew off the hands of Kettle Joe
Playing a song all his own
I closed my eyes and was still as a stone

Then I, I, I, well I had to move
Finding my feet on the ground
I took a breath and I slipped through the crowd
Come sing with me some harmony, said Kettle Joe
Taken again by surprise
I took a chance and laid it all on the line

Singing it�s alright now
Gets a little crazy but it�s alright, yeah
The music�s playing, and it�s alright

It�s alright now
Gets a little crazy but it�s alright, yeah
When the music�s playing, you know it�s alright

Yes, I heard the cry of an angel and a guitar man
Sung in a voice all his own
Real as a flaw in a rare and precious stone
I saw the light in the dark eyes of Kettle Joe
Leaving a tale to be told
True as the day I was young and when I�m old

I remember, it�s alright now
Gets a little crazy but it�s alright, yeah
The music�s playing, and it�s alright

Well you know it�s alright
And I know it�s alright

Well you know, it�s alright
And I know it�s alright
And I know it�s alright
