C                            G
We spent the night at St. Josephs
C                          G
Shaking and shivering in fever
C                          G
Nurses and criminals before us
             Em*        G*         C
I will stay here with you, my love

Instrumental: G C G

C                  G            
We sat at Lake Junaluska
C                          G
Cried over where we would wed
C                           G
If it's this place or any other
               Em*          G*
It's not where I am it's who I'm with

Instrumental: G C G C G

C                 G                
News came of a child
C             G
Born unto a world
C                        G
Of people demented and wild
           Em*       G*     
I will stay here for you, my love
C                           G
What was our reason for fighting?
C                         G
Selfish and centered at best
C              G
I give up on trying
Em*                            C* G
To understand why we were blessed

 C*                              G*
We'll spend the night at St. Josephs.
