Lyrics

Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, child, you got a runnin' machine
Baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Well, now Josephine drivin' a hotrod Ford
She got twin carburators, gonna burn up the road
Twin exhausts kickin' out the rear
Some of that'll really take away from here
Ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, child, you got a runnin' machine
Baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Well, now Josephine's engine, said it started run hot
She tried to trade it in down the used car lot
The man couldn't believe his natural eyes
When she pulled it up into his drive
Ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Ride on Josephine, girl, you got a runnin' machine
Baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Josephine, your tank is leakin', baby
I think ya' better slow down, ride with me
You say what?
You ask me to hush up and mind my own business?
Uh baby, you are my business
You good business, baby
I just love good business
You say what?
You ask me what kind of car am I drivin'?
Well, uh
I'm drivin' a '48 Cadillac with thunderbird wings
I'm tellin' you, baby, it's a runnin' thing
I could reach a groove a, baby, get a gear
I think I could take it a'right outta here
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, ride on
Ride on Josephine, child, you got a runnin' machine
Baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby, ride on
Hey
