| I’ll go back to St. Johnsberry to breathe the air
|
| Thats where I met a girl called Josephine
|
| They call her Josephine the Fair
|
| She had Manch Vegas written across her back
|
| She just cut off all her hair,
|
| We shared a blanket by the tracks in Lebanon, New Hampshire
|
| I couldn’t have sleep a better dream
|
| But I never felt so awake in my life
|
| till I noticed my jacket was gone and so was Josephine
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come you aint no where to be seen
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come how come Josephine?
|
| Soon after she musta had a change of heart
|
| but as the train was catching up speed
|
| like seeing the moon in the middle of the day
|
| I felt like my feet were just gonna float away
|
| when 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 there
|
| she said it would be a while
|
| I said I’ll wait
|
| she said it could be a while
|
| I said I’ll wait
|
| keep the jacket just bring it to me someday
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come you aint no where to be seen
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come how come Josephine?
|
| She had caught in the crowd
|
| with the rain so loud
|
| that you couldn’t hear your up and down
|
| heart beat now
|
| did you come back to New Hampshire to stay?
|
| did they catch you at the border
|
| and send you to back down?
|
| should I give up and stop lookin around
|
| but im still waitin for this day
|
| Josephine, Josephine
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come you aint no where to be seen
|
| Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
|
| How come, how come Josephine?
|
| Josephine the fair
|
| Josephine the fair
|
| Josephine the fair
|
| Josephine the fair |
