Black Crowes, The - Oh Josephine Lyrics
Diamonds hold mirrors
And spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby
Since i've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it maybe
Ooh, I like it like this
Ooh, I like it like this
Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
It's the dreaming through the come down
Still filling every tape
Come on and touch me baby
Before I turn to rust
I know there ain't no other
It's not a matter of trust
It's just sometimes love ain't enough
Ooh, love ain't enough
Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?
For a while I was kneeling in tears and powder
For as well I was strung out beyond my means
Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
Just looking for the song to set me free
Waited for redemption
No leaving love behind
You've got to know where you wanna be
It gets cold outside
It's too late to play it safe
So let's let it all ride
Yeah, let's let it all ride
Let it all ride!
Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?
Yeah
Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know, I know
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?

Black Crowes, The Oh Josephine Comments
What a voice!Holly Moley!
I named my daughter after this song....
This song and Sunday Sound touch me. Lyrics and music. Oh! That first verse.
These guys are truly amazing. Too bad I just discovered how amazing they are. Radio stations will ply their most popular songs off any given album and so unless you buy their albums you don’t get to hear the rest of their tunes. Thank you You Tube. I was born in the 60’s and this band is definitely the kind of band I would have loved back 80’s and 90’s . Somehow they slipped under my radar and I’m realizing only now what I missed! Great band. Music for old souls like me.
SEMIretired same here man, I only knew the popular ones but this year I got into cabin fever then the rest is history.. Yeah Chris is an ass and Steve should still be in the band but man these songs are magical with all the members,, Marc Ford was a huge part of the Crowes sound back in the early 90s..
Customer at my work told me to YouTube this song cause my name is Josephine. Im glad i did. ❤
Josephine Mikel Nice.
My name is Josephine
You got to know where you wanna be. It gets cooold out side
My name is Josephine and my eyes are blue
great sound!
Chris Robinson sounds amazing
H-RON...
Only YouTube account Greg. You had such a loyal girl. She never lied or cheated on you. I was made new. You have destroyed a woman who would have taken a bullet for you. Self esteem gone. Trust no one and NEVER let a substance replace a person. You have probably reduced your lifespan by 20 years. You'll always be my bb. Please don't use another good woman as a GoFundMe account for your addiction. MEN should NEVER ask women for money or anything else. YOU should support the women. Today, I don't have to buy a man's love. I work hard and am treated with respect and loyalty. Lessen learned Crawford. You should be on your knees begging the Lord for all the harm you've done to me and my family. I wish you well. And I will never be used again by anyone. Especially a grown asses man who is selfish and dishonest. Your day will come. Bet your grandma in Heaven, is so sad. Your 46 years old and live with your parents. Wow. What a catch. You'll be in my prayers. But not in my heart or head. YOU NO LONGER HAVE A SAY IN MY LIFE. YOUR a user and a liar. BTW, you Crawfish boys need to put some weight on. You both look like death. I know that's coming from a thick girl, but dang, I was actually afraid I was gonna hurt you. You can be left in a permanent psychosis by ice. Stop the substances. Pay your debts and support your own damn ass. That neighborhood and your family are so over you.Try and Do good. All hope is not lost. Yet. I feel so sorry for you. And last thing, God Greg, I wasted 8 years of my life and 1000's of dollars on you. Bet that's in God's book. Repent, relearn, and quit playing the victim. Any you guys know this guy, let him know it's not too late to do right.
Go ahead. Let him know YouTube peeps. Music heals me. But not his. And Greg, I'm not stealing your video's. You idiot. When you sent me YouTube videos in texts, it went to my library. Crackhead. Thanks buddy. Your making me famous.
I like this song bc it has my name and I was born in 2010
สุดยอด
Feeling lonely, this is good for the way I feel, my mum shes 90 and months to live, the walls are closing in the crowes ease my pain...

Diamonds hold mirrors
And spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby
Since i've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it maybe
And give me one more kiss
Ooh, I like it like this
Ooh, I like it like this

Thank you, man.
Perm 420 one minor quibble— *dealing in tears and powder. Thanks so much for posting this!!!
you guys are nutty. that is all wrong.
Such a beautiful tune. Classic Crowes sound. Love them so much.
for a spell i was strung out beyond my means .....
Awesome songwriters, best band since 1988 to bad like most bands, there was a time limit on their bond. This group is in my top 5 of all time (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Rolling Stones and the Crowes)
Mike Fetterman yes! They are amazing 👍🍻🍻
agreed....these guys and zeppelin were the most skillful and powerful songwriters ever! u dont hear lyrics like this in rap music...lol!
Bravo... I would say Cream or Jimi, Queen or ELO over the Stones and AC/DC, no offense at all... but yeah...otherwise top 5 if I may be so bold. Bravo Fetterman. 3 out of 5 ain't bad and that ain't a Meatloaf song.
feels good
awesome
Typical Crowes: OUTSTANDING
To me, the most consistently relevant American rock n roll band of the last two decades.
+2012ouroboros Pardon me, the past two and a half decades.
2012ouroboros agreed 🤑
People sure say some dumb sappy worthless things on posts
Come on and touch me baby before I turn to rust ...
Oh man I love this song.....
I thought there were no songs with the name Josephine. I was wrong! This is such a beautiful song.
My wife's name is Joie. Her mama has always called her Josephine, a long nickname ha. Whenever the Crowes come up, she always tells of the time they sung her song to her...eye to eye, her and him word for word. That kind of thing is what makes boys like this the best, that they were able to give her that
https://youtu.be/iVp7YGOVfSE
Chris Cornell does a song named Josephine also. Super good
Love it
in a perfect world, my future girlfriend would like these guys, I live in Wellington NZ, cheers
I've been listening to these guys since 1991
Swerv m lmao...ive always wanted a girl wit the same musical taste...met one and it turned me off a little haha
That's funny cause my wife and I DO NOT share musical interests, but she loves TBC and this album especially.
Swerv m Its your perfect world!
Find your own perfect world and a woman will flock to that like a fly to bug-light and still be a pain in the ass.
Perfect song.
When i first heard this song it was a true religious experience. If god exists, he/she loves this song. Im sure.
VisionOfTJ God loves all music
I hope you do find love. And hope you will get well too. Saludos amigo.
It is the soundtrack of me getting sober, but losing the love of my life...best ballad ...hits hard like a masterpiece should
same here.....soundtrack to my life! And im still workin on the gettin sober part unfortunately!
Congrats man
Dude, I have a perma-grin after reading your story. Awesome.
Anyone want to start a band? ;)
leaving love behind...let it all ride for once!
This album is a masterpeice....pshhh
Ha. The stuff he's singing about will fill your soul even more.
This song fills my soul!
My bro is a metal head who fronts a pretty dope power trio based on Poison the Well, the Deftones, John McLaughlin and David Bowie. I played this song one nite on the way out to go grab some beers and some pussy and he got quiet at the end and said "Play it again."
Well, I'm only 21 but I haven't heard this in three or so years. Love.
"It's too late to play it safe, let's let it all ride."
Dear god, I haven't heard this in years.
I agree with you (though I'm not white, lol). I'm just a black chick that loves rock, especially blues rock. The Black Crowes knocked me out in 1990 when I was only fourteen (Chris, especially, shallow as it may seem). This band is genuine in its respect of the roots and sound. The Faces and Allman Bros. had that ooze has well.
Tanya1976ism check out big mama Thornton, best blues female singer I've heard thus far
damn...wish i knew you! you have great taste w a deep soul that understands the meaning of good rock n roll!
“Ooze” i like that.
I have loved this song from the time that I first heard it because it is yet another example of the talent of the Black Crowes as southern rock craftsmen, both as individual musicians and as a collective group. I am primarily being facetious when I say, this because I am white as well and a true music lover will probably appreciate this comment for what it is :P...but I haven't heard white boys with so much natural blues and rhythm oozing out of them since The Rolling Stones, and I love it.
there's also a good one by the wallflowers!
this bs is what people told me even in my childhood, which is two decades ago. there's good stuff around, and the 'bitches' shit started with the rap in the 80s. but there's also good rap and hiphop that treats other issues. some electro has enriched the music scene, and variants on rock/metal to me are awesome. and listen to many beatles' songs that consist of a few words without much meaning.
i always like to know the story behind the music.. thanks for sharing joseph
An amazing song, fitting my thoughts mood and life at the moment
And no there ant no other....
Just stating.
Chris Robinson is awesome!!!
You do realize he's talking about battling heroin addiction right?
Saw those guys for the first time in 1993. Great great band. Keeping the tradition alive.
@izzklo oh josephine
@sugardayfox no it's not at all. on this master cut for the album he has a change of heart about love being enough....his tone changes: "you've got to know where you want to be...it gets cold outside. it's too late to play it safe...so let's let it all ride!"
One of the only REAL bands left today........fuck the hiatus guys, get back where you belong!
one of the greatest songs ever
make a ish and cawishll it maybe
make a ish and call it maybe
Righteous. Completely righteous.
@izzklo bonito nome
