Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
I told you to leave my man alone
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
You did not listen, now you reap what you did sow
Your beauty was beyond compare
But now you're left with half your hair
And he seems to have lost interest in you, Josephine
I told you, "stay away from him!"
But your superficiality won him
Now, as it fades, the spell breaks, Josephine
I always knew my love was true
And without me, he would feel blue
He called several nights to say so, Josephine
Today he's back, regretting he left
But guess what happens, happens for the best
He wont leave love again for lust, Josephine
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
I thank you for trying to take my man
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
He's learnt his lesson - love him truly, only I can!

Inspired by what bex did with Dylan's Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, even though this is nothing in comparison. I wanted to try something nonetheless. So, when I was listening to Dolly Parton's Jolene, I thought "this is it. I'm going to poemify this song."
I'd love to see a better take though, and learn. :)
If you haven't already, the beautifully crafted Hey Mr. Tangerine Man, by bex, here-
