Josie
Josie, I wont fail yaI wont fail you, have no fearJosie, I wont fail yaGive me one more chance, the day is near
The meadows they are burstingThe yellow corn lies in your handsAnd with the night comes sorrowAs the tide of dawn slips on the land
The long breezes are blowingAll down the sky into my faceI've a weary kind of feelingLike my time has come and gone to waste
I love you, darling JosieThe trees of pine, they grow so tallHow come you came to love meWhen you didn't love me at all?
Josie, I wont fail yaI wont fail you, have no fearJosie, I wont fail yaGive me one more chance, the day is near
My Josie looks a child nowAs she lies beyond my breastIn the night I think about herIn the day I get no rest
I cut me a young pine coneAnd I gave it to the river deepIt sailed way by your windowWhere you lay so long in sleep
God bless you, darling JosieWith your sparkling eyes so bright and clearJosie, I won't fail yaI won't fail you, have no fear
Josie, I wont fail yaI wont fail you, have no fearJosie, I won't fail yaGive me one more chance, the day is near
