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 to be as near |
|
The meadows, they are bursting |
|
The yellow corn lies in your hands |
|
And with the night 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 worried kind of feelin' |
|
That 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 ya |
|
I won't fail you have no fear |
|
Josie, I won't fail ya |
|
Give me one more chance to be as near |
|
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 |
|
I cut me a young pine cone |
|
And gave it to the river deep |
|
It sailed 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 ya |
|
I won't fail you have no fear |
|
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 to be as near |
