I'll go back to 
St. Johnsberry to breathe the air
Thats where 
I met a girl called 
JosephineThey call her 
Josephine the 
FairShe had 
Manch Vegas written across her back
She just cut off all her hair,
We shared a blanket by the tracks in 
Lebanon, New 
HampshireI couldn't have sleep a better dream
But I never felt so awake in my lifetill 
I noticed my jacket was gone and so was 
JosephineJosephine, 
Josephine, 
JosephineHow come you aint no where to be seen
Josephine, 
Josephine, 
JosephineHow come how come 
Josephine?
Soon after she musta had a change of heartbut as the train was catching up speedlike seeing the moon in the middle of the day
I felt like my feet were just gonna float awaywhen i heard her yelling "Chicoree"she was takin off her jacket as she ran
I said forget the jacket just gimme your hand
I'm gettin off at the first stop up in canada
I can make you happy thereshe said it would be a while
I said I'll waitshe said it could be a while
I said I'll waitkeep the jacket just bring it to me someday
Josephine,

Josephine?
