Josie Lyrics - Donovan

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.
