Father we've something to tell you, a story of our time. A tragic but inspiring tale, of manhood in its prime. You know you had a dozen sons?

Well now that's, not quite true.

But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to.

There's one more Angel in Heaven, (Guen: Ah-ah) there's one more star in the sky. (Guen: Ah-ah) Joseph we'll never forget you. (Guen: Ah-ah)

It's tough but we're gonna get by. (Guen: Ah-ah)

There's one less place at our table. There's one more tear in my eye.

But Joseph the things that you stood fer,

(Spoken) like truth and light never die.

Joseph died as he wished to

He answered duty’s call

He single handed fought the beast That would have killed us all.

His blood-stained coat is tribute to his final sacrifice.

His body may be past it's peak but his soul's in paradise.

There's one more Angel in Heaven, (Guen: Ah-ah) there's one more star in the sky. (Guen: Ah-ah) Joseph we'll never forget you. (Guen: Ah-ah)

It's tough but we're gonna get by. (Guen: Ah-ah)

There's one less place at our table. (Guen: Ah-ah) There's one more tear in my eye. (Guen: Ah-ah) But Joseph the things that you stood fer,

When I think of his last great battle,

a lump comes to my throat.

It takes a man who knows no fear to wrestle with a goat.

Carve his name with pride and courage, let no tear be shead. If he had not laid down his life, we all would now be dead.

(Spoken) So long little Jo! Adios Buckeroo!

Ten four good buddy...

There's one less place at our table. There's one more tear in my eye.

But Joseph the things that you stood fer,

Poor, poor Joseph what’cha gonna do? Things look bad for you

Hey what’cha gonna do?

Taken to Egypt in chains and sold

Captain named Potiphar

Where he was bought by a Captain named Potiphar

Potiphar had very few cares.

He was one of Egypt’s millionaires. Having made a fortune buying shares

In pyramids.

Potiphar had made a huge pile. Owned a large percentage of the Nile. Meant that he could really live in style And he did. (Potiphar: Yes, I did.)

Joseph was an unimportant

Slave who found he liked his master, Consequently worked much harder, Even with devotion.

Potiphar could see that Joseph Was a cut above the average Made him leader of the household, Maximum promotion.

Potiphar was cool and so fine,

But his wife would never tow the line.

It's all there in chapter thirty-nine of Genesis. She was beautiful but evil. (Mrs. Potiphar: Evil) Saw a lot of men against his will.

He would have to tell her

like truth and light never die! (repeat)
