Hello Josephine. How do you do? Do you remember me baby like I remember you? You used to laugh at me and holler "Woo woo woo" I used to walk you home I used to hold your hand You used to use my umbrella ev'ry time it rained You used to cry so much it was a crying shame Hello Josephine. How do you do? Do you remember me baby like I remember you? You used to laugh at me and holler 'Woo woo woo" You used to live over yonder by the railroad track. When it rained you couldn't walk I used to tote you on my back Now you gotta make believe it was a thrill at that. Hello Josephine. How do you do? Do you remember me baby like I remember you? You used to laugh at me and holler 'Woo woo woo"
