Dispatch - Josaphine lyrics

rate me

Think I’ll up and move to Canada

Think I’ll begin my story there

And then the prime minister says he’s had enough

I’ll go back to St. Johnsberry to breathe the air

That’s where I met a girl called Josaphine

They call her Josaphine the Fair

She had Manch Vegas written across her back

She just cut off all her hair

We shared a blanket by the tracks in Lebanon New Hampshire

I could not sleep a better dream

But I never felt so awake in my life

Til I noticed my jacket was gone and so was josaphine

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come you’re no where to be seen

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come how come josaphine?

soon after she musta had a change of heart

but as the train was catching up speed

like seeing the moon in the middle of the day

I felt like my feet were just gonna float away

when i heard her yelling "Chicoree"

she was takin off her jacket as she ran

I said forget the jacket just gimme your hand

I’m gettin off at the first stop up in Canada

I can make you happy there

she said it would be a while

I said I'll wait

she said it could be a while

I said I'll wait

keep the jacket just bring it to me someday

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come you aint nowhere to be seen

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come how come josaphine?

she had caught in the crowd

with the rain so loud

that you couldn't hear your up and down

heart beat now

did you come back to New Hampshire to stay?

did they catch you at the border

and send you to back down?

should I give up and stop lookin around

but im still waitin for this day

Josaphine Josaphine

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come you aint nowhere to be seen

josaphine josaphine josaphine

how come how come josaphine?

Josaphine the fair

Josaphine the fair

Josaphine the fair

Josaphine the fair.
