[Verse 1]
We came here across the great divide
Into the city, slander all eyes
We found a great love as we fell inside
They could not touch us as we'd go by
I've seen you the first time in Trogny's bar
But I'll see you later, we'll talk of black
We'll meet up for sure, oh, will we not?
Away from all of the friends that you've got
Oh no, oh no

I said, "Don't call me sir, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me lady, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me mister, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe"

[Verse 2]
You wear the best clothes that I've ever seen
I've seen your light and your poetry
And it's the best thing that there's ever been
You're both the beauty and the beast
That's how it is and that's how it end
Into another city where you live far away
That's how it is and that's how it end
You've seen my face, but you've never heard my name
Oh no, oh-oh

[Chorus]
I said, "Don't call me sir, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me lady, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me mister, oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe"
