Lyrics:

Coffee grows on white oak trees
The river flows with brandy oh
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as 'lasses candy

There's two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
I lost my true love on that raging canal

Well, she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
She's gone for to stay on that raging canal

Four in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Four in the middle and I can't get around
Four in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Fiddle in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Fiddle in the middle and I can't get around
Fiddle in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Wheel about and turn about and I can't dance Josie
Wheel about and turn about and I can't get around
Wheel about and turn about and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Coffee grows on white oak trees
The river flows with brandy oh
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as 'lasses candy oh
