Josephine Pokey LaFarge
Chorus
ease me down josephine
got something that makes me want to stay
you know id never lead you blind or astray
just ease me down my sweet josephine
take me out in the yard
and lay me down half past eight
go to the gardens through that bright colored gate
just ease your body next to mine
Chorus
its cigarettes and whiskey at dawn
and apples and oranges at noon
yes its summertime in the city and we ll be leaving soon
im going to carolina to rest my bones
