1. The meadows they
are bursting, the yellow corn lies in your hands.

And with the night comes sorrow, as the
tide of dawn slips on the land.
F C F C G C
The long breezes are blowin’, all down the
sky into my face.
F C F C G C
I`ve a weary kind of feeling, like my time
has come and gone to waste.

I love you, darling Josie, the trees of
pine, they grow so tall.

How come you came to love me, when you
didn`t love - me at all.

2. My Josie looks a
child now, as she lies here on my
breast.

In the night I think about her, in the day
I get no rest.
F C F C G C
I`ll cut me a young pinecone, and I give
it to the river deep.
F C F C G C
It sailed away by your window, where you
lay so long in sleep.

God bless you, darling Josie, with your
sparkling eyes so bright and clear.
