I'm writin' this letter my darlin from high on a hill.
We've been marchin' ten days and we're just outside hawkinsville.
It's been snowin' all night and we ain't got no more kersosene.
It's colder than hell
Hope you're doin' well
Josephine.

There's a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight.
We done lost ol' calvin;
Weaver won't make it through the night.
I overheard the captain say it's the worst he's ever seen.
I'm losin' some weight
But i'm still standin' up straight
Josephine.

Chorus
Tell the children i miss 'em and wish i could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell mama and daddy i'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you i love you i love you josephine.

There's three thousand union troops camped at the river below.
And six hundred of us -
At least there was two nights ago.
Will irwin deserted and
They hung him down by the stream.
Good god i'm so scared
Keep me in your prayers
Jospehine.

The order came down: we attack tonight at nightfall.
If we can stop 'em right here
We can win this war once and for all.
You know i killed a union boy last week -
Bet he wasn't fourteen.
He looked just like our son
Forgive me for what i've done
Josphine.

Chorus
Tell the children i miss 'em and wish i could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell mama and daddy i'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you i love you i love you josephine.

And lastly my darling in case i should be killed...
Don't grieve me too long
Promise me that you will
Marry another and don't let him treat our babies mean
And when he's holding you won't you think of me too josephine?

Chorus
Tell the children i miss 'em and wish i could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell mama and daddy i'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you i love you i love you josephine.

Oh i love you i love you i love you josephine.
