Lori McKenna - Josephine Lyrics

JOSEPHINE
(recorded live at Fox Run Concerts, per liner notes)
by Lori McKenna

Hey Josephine,
I loved you since the day you rolled inside of me.
Hey Josephine,
I hope you have the heart.

Well I do not have a picture,
I have never heard your voice.
In 1963 I did not have a choice.
Well, I was only 16 but I loved the boy.
He had a future
which a baby could not destroy.

Hey Josephine,
I loved you since the day you rolled inside of me.
Hey Josephine,
I hope you have the heart to forgive me.

Well, ask me all your questions,
I will tell no lies.
I don't expect you'll understand
or sympathize.
But where I was that moment
was not a good place to be.
I could not protect myself,
nevermind a baby.

Well, hey Josephine,
I loved you since the day you rolled inside of me.
Hey Josephine,
I hope you have the heart...

To forgive me....

I hope you have the heart to forgive me...

Hey Josephine,
I loved you since the day you rolled inside of me.
Hey Josephine,
I hope you have the heart....

Well I do not have a picture,
I've never heard your voice.
In 1963 I did not have a choice........
