| Lyrics: | 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 |
