I loved a woman named JosephineBut that was just her middle nameI loved her in the middle countryBut now she's living by the seaShe took me in her arms and savedMy heart though ties she would not makeBut knots and promises did I dreamAnd all of them she soon did breakThe silence of the blue night stingsThe bell within my cell can't ringFor the rust around it tighteningIt only sounds for JosephineLike the fountain where I tossed my dimeThe mountain I was too weak to climbThe room in which I lost my mindAll is owned by Josephine
