Joseph's Son


As performed by The Crossing
As heard by d.baderman
off _Dancing at the Crossroads_

(no chord - dropped D tuning - low D string...)
Oh where, oh where, is the carpenter?
Oh Father where - is Joseph's son?
I have looked high - and I have looked low
Oh tell me where, has the carpenter gone.
Dm C Dm
He's gone, He's gone - to walk this wide land
Am
My son the truth, I'll tell to you
Dm C
He has twelve men - to walk beside him
Dm
His Father's will, He has gone to do
C Dm
And He traveled north, and he traveled south
Am
No food nor drink - did pass his mouth
Dm C
For forty days - in the wilderness
Dm
A carpenter, did pass his test
C Dm
He traveled east, and he traveled west
Am
O'er mountain high, through valley low
Dm C
To heal the sick, the deaf and the blinded
Dm
To shed His light, on our darkened soul
-C-Dm-Am-Dm-C-Dm
C Dm
Oh where, oh where, is the carpenter?
Am
Oh Father where, is Joseph's son?
Dm C
I hear the cries, I see the soldiers
Dm
Oh tell me where, has the carpenter gone
C Dm
He's gone, He's gone, to yon green garden
Am
Of his twelve men, to call but one
Dm C
To pray for strength, for what lay before him
Dm
Saying not my will, but Thine be done.
C Dm
He's gone, He's gone, to yon high hill
Am
Gone to where, stood crosses three
Dm C
He cried his last, 'neath the blackened sky
Dm
And all alone died, on the curs-ed tree
C Dm
A tomb so deep, in stones so cold
Am
Laid there, men thought, no more to see
Dm C
But just as the sun, returns in the morning
Dm
He rose from death, and he set us free
C Dm
Oh where, oh where, is the carpenter
Am
Oh Father where, is God's own Son?
Dm C
My Son He's gone, where we cannot follow
Dm
But He'll return, to take us home.
