Lyrics

From the album catch the wind

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, the day is near
The meadows they are bursting
The yellow corn lies in your hand
And with the night comes sorrow
As the tide of dawn sleeps on the land
The long breezes are blowing
All down the sky into my face
I've a weary kind of feeling
Like 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, the day is near
My josie looks a child now
As she lies here on my breast
In the night I think about her
In the day I get no rest
I cut me a young pine-cone
And I 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 sparklin' 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, the day is near
