Empty bottles and broken glass All of my memories are comin' back I saw your face tonight, but it's fadin' fast It never lasts while I'm here Not while I'm here And it's just so hard on the telephone Can't really say when I'll be comin' home Lord, help me to get back to Josephine 'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans And there's one more thing I'd love to do To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine A long time away from you, now I'm not sure If your light still burns for me Music just keeps pulling me And there is no cure for the way I feel for you The way I feel for you And it's just so hard on the telephone Can't really say when I'll be comin' home Lord, help me to get back to Josephine 'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans And there's one more thing I'd love to do To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine 'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans And there's one more thing I'd love to do To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
