Josie loved the sailors With their bawdy, wet neck songs Josie loved the stories From the halls of the Kublai Khan And don't you know she loved me Ah, she loved me all the time And won't you say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line Oh, say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line
Josie loved the soldiers Coming home from war Josie used to tell them That you won't go fight no more
But don't you know she loved me Ah, she loved me all the time And won't you say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line Oh, say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line
Josie don't work sidewalks Or the bars of the Tenderloin 'Cause Josie makes her money From the homesick, lonesome boys But don't you know she loved me Ah, she loved me all the time Say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line Oh, say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line Oh, say hello to Josie On the San Francisco county line
