My Girl
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello Josephine. How do you do?
Do you remember me baby like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me and holler "Woo woo woo"

I used to walk you home
I used to hold your hand
You used to use my umbrella ev'ry time it rained
You used to cry so much it was a crying shame


Hello Josephine. How do you do?
Do you remember me baby like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me and holler 'Woo woo woo"

You used to live over yonder by the railroad track.
When it rained you couldn't walk I used to tote you on my back
Now you gotta make believe it was a thrill at that.

Hello Josephine. How do you do?




Do you remember me baby like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me and holler 'Woo woo woo"

In the first verse, the singer recalls how Josephine used to mockingly laugh at him but also expresses fondness in their playful interactions.

The second verse carries on with the singer mentioning how he used to walk Josephine home and hold her hand, emphasizing the physical closeness they shared. He also mentions how Josephine would use his umbrella in the rain, illustrating a sense of care and protection in their relationship. However, the line "You used to cry so much it was a crying shame" hints at the presence of sadness or maybe a deep emotional vulnerability in their past.


In the final verse, the singer describes where Josephine used to live, near the railroad track, highlighting a specific location of their memories. He reminisces about how, when it rained, Josephine couldn't walk, and he would carry her on his back. The singer suggests that Josephine may now have to pretend that these moments were thrilling, possibly implying a sense of distance or change between them.
