Josephine Lyrics

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.
