Think I'll up and move to Canada
Think I'll begin my story there
And if the prime minister says he's had enough

I'll go back to St. Johnsberry to breathe the air

That's where I met a girl called Josephine

They call her Josephine the Fair
She had Manch Vegas written across her back
She just cut off all her hair


We shared a blanket by the tracks in lebanon New Hampshire
I could not sleep a better dream

Oh but I never felt more awake in my life
Til I noticed my jacket was gone and so was Josephine


Chorus:

Josephine, Josephine, Jjosephine

How come you ain't no where to be seen?
Josephine Josephine Josephine
How come, how come, Josephine?


Soon after she must've had a change of heart
Cause there's the train caught up speed

Like seeing the moon in the middle of the day
I felt like my feet were just gonna float away
when I heard her yelling "Chicoree"

She was takin off the jacket as she ran
I said forget the jacket just gimme your hand
I'm gettin off at the first stop up there in Canada

I can make you happy there
She said it could be a while
I said I'll wait

She said it could be a while
I said I'll wait
Keep the jacket, just bring it to me someday


Chorus:


Josephine, Josephine, Jjosephine
How come you ain't no where to be seen?
Josephine Josephine Josephine

How come, how come, Josephine?

Did you get caught in a cloud with the rain so loud

That you couldn't hear your up and down heart speak out
Did you go back to New Hampshire to stay?
Did they catch you at the border and send you to back down?

Should I give up and stop lookin around
But I'm still waitin to this day
Josephine Josephine


Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
How come you ain't nowerhe to be seen?

Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
How come, how come
How come, how come


Josephine the fair


Josephine the fair

Josephine the fair


Josephine the fair
