Josephine Songtext
von Dustbowl Revival

See the girl with the red dress on
Just one look and I was long gone
I asked her name, I was feeling pretty keen
She said "They used to call me Joseph
But now they call me Josephine"
(They call me Josephine
They call me Josephine)

I came from Kansas
I was born the preacher′s son
I dropped my truck in Chinatown
I said "let's have some fun"
I swear she′s got the sweetest smile
A man has ever seen

She said "They used to call me Joseph
But now they call me Josephine"
(They call me Josephine)


You know that Josephine worked security
At a big club downtown
And after hours we'd go dancing
To the music that made no sound
I said "How did you get this way?"
She said "I'm in between"

You know they used to call her Joseph
But now they call her Josephine
(They call her Josephine)

Oh, mother, can you tell me
How do you know? (how do you know?)
What if the girl you love
Who fits you like a glove
Is a boy named Joe?

She took me out to Dublin′s
And I had some sockeye buns
She brought me back to her place
No, don′t you tell my mom
I don't know what I′m feeling but
But love knows how to win

You know they used to call her Joseph
But now I call her Josephine
I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph)
I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph)
I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph)


You know they used to call me Joseph
They used to call me Joseph
They used to call me Joseph
You know they used to call me Joseph
