Josie loved the sailors

With their bawdy, wet neck songs

Josie loved the stories

From the halls of the Kublai Khan



And don't you know she loved me

Ah, she loved me all the time

And won't you say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line

Oh, say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line



Josie loved the soldiers

Coming home from war

Josie used to tell them

That you won't go fight no more



But don't you know she loved me

Ah, she loved me all the time

And won't you say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line

Oh, say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line



Josie don't work sidewalks

Or the bars of the Tenderloin

'Cause Josie makes her money

From the homesick, lonesome boys



But don't you know she loved me

Ah, she loved me all the time

Say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line

Oh, say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line

Oh, say hello to Josie

On the San Francisco county line
