Josie lyrics

Josie, I wont fail ya

I wont fail you, have no fear

Josie, I wont fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near

The meadows they are bursting

The yellow corn lies in your hands

And with the night comes sorrow

As the tide of dawn slips on the land

The long breezes are blowing

All down the sky into my face

I've a weary kind of feeling

Like my time has come and gone to waste

I love you, darling Josie

The trees of pine, they grow so tall

How come you came to love me

When you didn't love me at all?

Josie, I wont fail ya

I wont fail you, have no fear

Josie, I wont fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near

My Josie looks a child now

As she lies beyond my breast

In the night I think about her

In the day I get no rest

I cut me a young pine cone

And I gave it to the river deep

It sailed way by your window

Where you lay so long in sleep

God bless you, darling Josie

With your sparkling eyes so bright and clear

Josie, I won't fail ya

I won't fail you, have no fear

Josie, I wont fail ya

I wont fail you, have no fear

Josie, I won't fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near
