歌词
A certain maid I know is so afraid her boy
Will never ask her, will she name the day
He calls on her each night and when she dims the light
It's ten to one that you would hear her say
Oh, Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up?
It's time I knew just how I stand with you
My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up
Each time we make up after being through
So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting
And here and there my hair is turning gray
My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day?
Oh, Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh, Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh, Joseph, won't you name the day
Name the day, name the day
Oh, Joseph, make your mind up
It's time I knew just how I stand with you
My heart's no clock that I can wind up
Oh, Joseph, each time we make up after we were almost through
Oh, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting
And here and there my hair is turning gray
My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
Oh, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day?
My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear
Oh Joseph, why won't you name the day?
