The By And By
Words & Music:  Joe Stickley

Travelin’ the road ablaze
Daddy did I burn it all down
I saw the purple in the haze
And the smoke rise out
Oh, Daddy wanna go back home
But I think I might-a burnt it all down
Daddy did I burn it all down
Wall to wall

Catch a needle on the run, my boy
Catch a needle in the rye
Another day and a cup of Joe
While the other side wind
Catch a needle in the rye
Livin’ on the road on the go
On the by and by

Travelin’ the sea adrift
Mama did I drink it all up
I saw the sunset slip
And the floor rise up
Oh, Mama wanna go back home
But I think I might a drank it all up
Mama did I drink it al up
Shore to shore

Catch a needle on the run, my boy
Catch a needle in the rye
Another night and a cup of Joe
While the other side wind
Catch a needle in the rye
Livin’ on the ocean again
On the by and by

Travelin’ a song, a song
Baby did I sing it all true
I saw the future up ahead
And the sky looked blue
Oh, baby wanna  go back home
And I think I might a sang it all true
Baby did I sing it all true
Me to you

Catch a needle on the run, my love
Catch a needle in the rye
Another mornin’ and a cup of Joe
While the other side wind
Catch a needle in the rye
Living on a song, all along
On the by and by
