The Ballad Of Josie - Seth Lakeman

It was Monday morning in heavy rain

When Josie went from our house, never back again

Out beyond the hillside where the cattle stand

With her recent lover holding her right hand

They both went out together in the Monday mist

She never saw it coming, waiting at his wrist

He struck her swiftly and she fell right down

Flowers grew around her a body never found

Whenever you`re walking out in the snow

Think of poor Josie all on her own

Wherever those flowers stand out unknown

Youll be steppin` on her gravestone

So tell me where is Josie and where`s she flown

You both went out together you`ve come back alone

You sit so sadly with a face so cold

You`re no more paler though than the life you stole
