Josie my Bristolian Maid

Oh Josie oh Josie

Bristolian maid

If I was a man you need not be afraid

I’d love you forever my blond blue eyed pear

While you suck your sweet thumb

You know I would dare

To ask you to marry

Don’t care for John James

He’s not worthy of you

He’s just a big pain

With you in my arms

We would have such big fun

Oh Josie I love it

When you suck your thumb

You are a true woman

After my own heart

You love how you love

You are never a tart

So blond and so buxom

So sweet and so true

Oh Josie oh Josie

I so do love you!
