Lyrics

When I was little I'd listen each night
As Mama would read from a book full of rhymes
Little Jack Horner and all of his friends
I'd sometimes imagine I could be there with them
I thought that I'd left that child behind
But if Old Mother Goose wrote down my nursery rhyme
It would say
Ol' Humpty Dumpty just fell off a wall
But Joe fell in love and fell farthest of all
And a broken heart's harder to fix than a shell
Nobody knew where to start
Fixin' ol' Broken Joe's heart

Hey diddle diddle I'll tell you a riddle
'Bout broken ol Joe
Whose love meant so little
The dish and the spoon sweetly danced 'neath the moon
He yearned for the music to start
But she just ran away with his heart

Ol' Humpty Dumpty just fell off a wall
But Joe fell in love and fell farthest of all
And a broken heart's harder to fix than a shell
Nobody knew where to start
Fixin' ol' Broken Joe's heart

Hickory dickory clock on the wall
Fallin' in love is one hell of a fall
