Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya, Give me one more chance to be as near.
The meadows they are bursting the yellow corn is 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, Ive 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 can you come to love me when you didnt love me at all.
Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie I wont 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 wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near.
