JOSIE

Josie, I won`t fail you, I won`t fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won`t fail you, gimme one more chance, the day is near.

The meadows they are bursting, the yellow corn lies in your hands.
And with the eye 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 won`t fail you, I won`t fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won`t fail you, gimme one more chance, the day is near.

My Josie looks a child now, as she lies, here on my breast.
In the night I think about her, in the day I get no rest.
I`ll cut me a young pine cone, and IŽll give it to the river deep.
It'd sail 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 you, I won`t fail you, have no fear.

Josie, I won`t fail you, I won`t fail you, have no fear.
Josie, I won`t fail you, gimme one more chance, the day is near.
