This cache name is a reminder of one of my dad's favorite phrases... when he knew somebody wouldn't like something and would in fact be agitated or impatient to the point of jigging about or jumping up and down, Dad would say, “She's gonna be dancin' Josie.” Apparently the phrase came from an old play-party song titled “Coffee Grows On White Oak Trees.”
Here are a few of the words:
Coffee grows on white Oak trees
The river flows with brandy O
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as lasses candy O
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

If you continue past the cache site down the Democrat Road you will reach one of the Navasota River crossings, known as the Democrat Crossing. The road may not be in very good shape the closer you get to the river, so be warned.
Congrats to TxAg9406 for the FTF!
