Jos Lament

I stayed away so long Jo

Don t think that I could come back

You re doin so well without me girl

You d laugh if you d know d where I m at


You knew me when it was all my world

Somehow it s all passed me by

But don t let on to my friends Jo dear

That things ain t turned out as planned

You bore my child then I left you aside

I don t expect you to forgive

But Jo I can say in a funny old way

I was sure that I had it made



I still possess a photograph

My memory to refresh

But fade it may Jo I can say

I was sure that I had it made


You bore my child then I left you aside

I don t expect you to forgive

But now I m not so young and I m so afraid

To sleep alone for the rest of my days
