Josephine |
| I’m writin' this letter, my darlin', from high on the hill |
| We’ve been marching ten days and we’re just outside Hopkinsville |
| It’s been snowing all night and we ain’t got no more kerosene |
| It’s colder than hell, hope you’re doing well Josephine |
| There’s a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight |
| We done lost old Calvin, Weaver won’t make it through the night |
| I overheard the captain say, it’s the worst he’s ever seen |
| I’m losing some weight, but I’m still standing up straight Josephine |
| Tell my children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more |
| Bet they’ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| Tell Mama and Daddy, I’m all right and just one more thing |
| I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| There’s three thousand Union troops camped at the river below |
| Six hundred of us, at least there was two nights ago |
| Will Irwin deserted and they hung him down by the stream |
| Good God, I’m so scared, keep me in your prayers, Josephine |
| Well the orders came down, we attack tonight at nightfall |
| If we can stop them right here, we can win this war once and for all |
| You know, I killed a Union boy last week, I bet he wasn’t fourteen |
| He looked just like our son, forgive me for what I’ve done, Josephine |
| Tell my children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more |
| Bet they’ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| Tell Mama and Daddy I’m all right and just one more thing |
| I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| And lastly, my darling, in case I should be killed |
| Don’t grieve me too long, promise me that you will |
| Marry another and don’t let him treat our babies mean |
| And when he’s holding you, won’t you think of me too, Josephine? |
| Tell my babies I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more |
| Bet they’ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| Tell Mama and Daddy I’m all right and just one more thing |
| I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
