Josie

[Verse 1]

Josie, I won't fail ya

I won't fail you, have no fear

Josie, I won't fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near

[Verse 2]

The meadows they are burstin'

The yellow corn lies in your hand

And with the night comes sorrow

As the tide of dawn slips on the land

[Verse 3]

The long breezes are blowin'

All down the sky into my face

I've a weary kind of feelin'

Like my time has come and gone to waste

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]

I love you darlin' Josie

The trees of pine they grow so tall

How come you came to love me

When you didn't love me at all?

[Verse 1]

Josie, I won't fail ya

I won't fail you, have no fear

Josie I won't fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

I cut me a young pine cone

And I gave it to the river deep

It sail'd 'way by your window

Where you lay so long in sleep

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 7]

God bless you darlin' Josie

With your sparkling eyes so bright and clear

Josie, I won't fail ya

I won't fail you, have no fear

[Verse 1]

Josie, I won't fail ya

I won't fail you, have no fear

Josie, I won't fail ya

Give me one more chance, the day is near
