Josephine -

She went down, down, down to the river

She went down, down, down to the shore

She laid her body in the water

To go to sleep for evermore.

Oh, Josephine… Oh, Josephine

The night was black and dark like a raven

His cry grew louder and echoed in her head

She was a slave to the silence of her lover

She went to be with him instead.

Oh, Josephine… Oh, Josephine

Oh, Josephine… Oh, Josephine

He went down, down, down to the river

He went down, down, down to the shore

He saw her body treading in the water

He turned his back on her again, once more

Oh, Josephine… Oh, Josephine

Oh, Josephine… Oh, Josephine.
