Lyrics
If I wore a starched collar and a dolphin sign
a panama hat and shoes that shine,
if I stood by your window on moonlit nights
and serenaded you with poetry and rhyme.
Alabama gold is only brass
everything that shines comes to pass,
you never sell for half the price
as you paid for such elusive merchandise.
Josey, Josey dont hold your head so high
everybodys got to cry sometimes,
everybody gets lost sometimes,
I know, thats just the way it goes
Ill ride with you on the ocean side
I want to see your golden hair fly, high,
there aint no silver in a worn out mine,
just let it go by.
Open your eyes
and see how our world divides
and how thin draws the line
between all that is wrong and all that is right.
Ah Josey, Josey babe, dont hold your head so high
everybodys got to cry sometimes,
everybody gets lost sometimes
I know, thats just the way it goes
thats just the way it goes.
( Josey is beautiful, but she is proud. Josey dont hold your head so high.,
We all have to cry sometimes. )
