Think I'll up and move to Canada
Think I'll begin my story there
And if the prime minister says he's had enough
I'll go back to St. Johnsbury to breathe the air
That's where I met a girl called Josaphine
They call her Josaphine The Fair
She had Manchvegas 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 for better dreams
Oh but I never felt so awake and alive
'Til I noticed my jacket was gone and so was Josaphine
Josaphine, Josaphine, Josaphine
How come you ain't nowhere to be seen?
Josaphine, Josaphine, Josaphine
How come, how come Josaphine
But soon after she must've had a change of heart
'Cause as the train caught up speed
Like seein' the moon in the middle of the day
I felt like my feet were just gonna float away
When I heard her yellin’ Chicoree
And she was taking off her jacket as she ran
I said forget the jacket just give me your hand
I'm gettin' off at the first stop up there in Canada
I can make you happy there
She said it could be awhile
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 ain't nowhere to be seen?
Josaphine, Josaphine, Josaphine
How come, how come Josaphine
Did you get caught in a cloud with the rain so loud
That you couldn't hear your up and down heart speak out?
Did you go back to New Hampshire to stay?
Did they catch you at the border and send you back down?
Should I give up and stop looking around?
Cause I'm still waiting to this day Josaphine
Josaphine, Josaphine, Josaphine
How come you ain't nowhere to be seen?
Josaphine, Josaphine, Josaphine
How come, how come, how come, how come
Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair
Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair, Josaphine The Fair
