lyrics

Early Sunday morning setting up for church
Big Joe, he got surprise.
Boom, boom, BOOM
And the roaring engines.
Screaming like hell from the skies

While the men lay sleeping in their beds.
Fighting off their drunken sleepy heads

Two Joes who nobody knows aren’t coming home for Christmas this year
Big Joe is staying in the chapel in the field
He’s never going to leave that paradise.

Walking back from breakfast seeing what they’d done
Little Joe, he let out a cry
As he took up arms
As he fought for his friend
Those two joes didn’t get to say good bye

While mother boils cabbage in the vat
And sisters stuff peirogi plump and fat
And from the door a knock was heard, oh so lightly.

Two Joes who nobody knows aren’t coming home for Christmas this year
Little Joe is staying at the foot of old glory
He’s never going to leave that paradise.

Two Joes who nobody knows aren’t coming home for Christmas this year
They are staying in the music of their nephew
And they’re never going to leave that paradise.
