I ONCE KNEW THIS GIRL, HER NAME WAS DODIE JOE

I SWEAR THAT WAS HER NAME, SHE EVEN TOLD ME SO

SHE WAS THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL WITH PIGTAILS IN HER HAIR

SHE WAS AS QUIET AS A MOUSE, YOU HARDLY SAW HER THERE

SHE HAD A SWEET LITTLE LAUGH, AN INNOCENT SOUND

YOU WERE ALWAYS HAVING FUN IF DODIE JOE WAS AROUND

SHE LISTENED HARD IN CLASS AND DID HER WORK SO RIGHT

AND THEN SHE DISAPPEARED, ALMOST OVERNIGHT

SHE KNOCKED AT MY BACKDOOR ONE DAY, SAID SHE CAME TO SAY GOODBYE

I GAVE HER A CONFUSED HUG AND KIND OF STARTED TO CRY

IT HAPPENED SO QUICK, SHE WAS HERE AND THEN NO MORE

I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO THAT DAY AT MY BACKDOOR

I WOULD TELL HER THAT I WILL MISS HER AND LIKED BEING HER FRIEND

I WOULD SAY I WISH SHE WOULDN’T GO, I ALWAYS HATE THE END

I DO NOT THINK SHE WOULD REMEMBER ME IF I WAS THE ONE TO GO

AFTERALL THE THING I REMEMBER MOST IS HER NAME WAS DODIE JOE
