Josephine

Ease me down, Josephine

You've got something that makes me want to stay

Well you know I'll never lead you blind or astray

Just ease me down, my sweet Josephine

So take me out in the yard

Lay me down at half past eight

Roll me through your garden's vicar gate

Trace your little body close to mine

Ease me down, Josephine

Got something that makes me want to stay

Well you know I'll never lead you blind or astray

So just ease me down, my sweet Josephine

It's cigarettes and whiskey at dawn

And apples and oranges at noon

It's a summertime in the city, we're leaving soon

I'm going to Carolina to rest my bones

(Broken bones, weary bones, skinny bones)

Ease me down, Josephine

Yes you've got something that makes me want to stay

You know I'd never lead you blind or astray

So just ease me down, my sweet Josephine
