After You

from MOONDOG by Joseph Huber

/

lyrics

I first saw you trapped on an old barstool,
And on each shoulder--another drooling fool
Like wild dogs circling some soon-to-be-food
They were after you. They were after you.

Shook my head and I wandered across the room
With some highfalutin idea for saving you.
Just one look in your eye and I was an old dog too
I was after you. I was after you.

We talked in tongues as the night fire grew
Fearing only the hour that we bid adieu.
And I knew right then that there would never be
Another woman after you...oh, after you.

And we found us a place in the mountains fine.
I'd stare out from my porch and sing, "The hills are mine!"
And a cold wind would blow and you'd say, "Come inside."
And I followed after you--Chasing after you.

And we had us a little boy and a little girl too,
Raised them up tall and told them all that's true
And he took after me, and then right on cue,
Oh she took after you--right after you.

And on that wicked day when time followed through
And made your resting place 'neath the morning dew
I whispered in your ear, "What's to fear?...for soon
I'll follow after you--Oh, after you.

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence. Playing all the instruments, from fiddle to harmonica to banjo to tambourine (and as many as he can at once) he amazes and entertains, but also reveals substance. His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
