Peter Eden - Josie lyrics

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 burstin' The yellow corn lies in your hand And with the night comes sorrow As the tide of dawn slips on the land The long breezes are blowin' All down the sky, into my face I've a weary kind of feelin' Like my time has come and gone to waste I love you darlin' 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 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 I gave it to the river deep It sail'd 'way by your window Where you lay so long in sleep God bless you darlin' Josie With your sparkling 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
