Lyrics
Just got a letter from Josie this morning
Had to read between the lines
She was sitting all alone, gazing through wooden blinds
She folded up her hands and she was crying
Wearing the same old mournful smile
For an old love, God knows where
All the children, they laugh at the old woman as she passes
With old-fashioned clothes and tape-mended glasses
Josie, Josie, hold on for me
Comin' from California to be with you, Josie
The world holds no love for a driftin' boy like me
Travellin' fast on God's wind to be with you, Josie
Remember the garden you once walked
To put your troubled mind at ease
Well, it is gone now to buildings, they even took the Cypress tree
The cinders take the place of fallen leaves
We'll spend time out there talkin'
You know I'd love to fix you tea
I could tell you of people, all the places I got to see
Josie, hold on please
Josie, Josie, hold on for me
Comin' from California to be with you, Josie
The world holds no love for a driftin' boy like me
Travellin' fast on God's wind to be with you, Josie
Josie, Josie, hold on for me
Comin' from California to be with you Josie
