Josie, you know it's not for me
It's all for you who made a man of me
I will find your love, wherever it may be
If I must travel over mountains and cross the seas
Josie, you know it's not for me
It's all for you who made a man of me
I will find your love, wherever it may be
If I must travel over mountains and cross the seas
Oh, my soul and oh, my life
Take me back to the day that she said goodbye
When I'm all alone on a starry night
Guess who wonders in my mind
Josie, you know it's not for me
It's all for you who made a man of me
I will find your love, wherever it may be
If I must travel over mountains and cross the seas
When good fortune walked away from me
See, I was down and out before I came to see
That there's no one else that I would rather be
And no one else for me except little Josie
Oh, my soul and oh, my life
Take me back to the day that she said goodbye
When I'm all alone on a starry night
Guess who wonders in my mind
Mother, you know it's not for me
It's all for them and their memories
I will send my love, wherever I may be
When I'm traveling over mountains and 'cross the seas
When I'm traveling over mountains and 'cross the seas
