Black Rose - Black 47[00:00:00]
Mister Frankie Diamond was my best friend[00:00:15]
We were partners in a business down on C and 7th[00:00:17]
Nothin' ever got this good brother down[00:00:20]
He was a real live wire in an electric town[00:00:23]
Frankie started hangin' with an uptown girl[00:00:25]
A Harlem lady in the social whirl[00:00:29]
On Saturday night he'd put on his best clothes[00:00:31]
And go out steppin' with his Black Rose[00:00:34]
Now Frankie went upstate for a couple of years[00:00:41]
A guest of the nation and he was in tears[00:00:44]
He called me up he said "Hey friend of mine[00:00:47]
I got one favor to ask you while I'm doin' my time"[00:00:50]
She's the Queen of New York City[00:00:53]
She bewitch all men soul[00:00:56]
She the blood that flow right through me[00:00:58]
So don't be messin' with my Black Rose[00:01:01]
Keep your hands off my Black Rose[00:01:04]
My Black Rose he don't own ya[00:01:06]
While Frankie was upstate his Harlem girl[00:01:20]
Continued to spiral in her social whirl[00:01:22]
So I paged her from my gig on East 7th I said[00:01:25]
"Hey babe you doin' anythin' 'round about 11 "[00:01:28]
She said "Uh uh" in her uptown voice[00:01:30]
So we met at Beirut for cocktails and ice[00:01:34]
When she crossed that room in her tight red dress[00:01:36]
I wasn't thinkin' of Frankie I have to confess[00:01:39]
She said "Hey best friend let's go back to my place[00:01:47]
I need to fix my mascara and remodel my face"[00:01:50]
But it rained on the way back to her house[00:01:52]
And when she closed the door she took off her blouse[00:01:55]
She's the Queen of New York City[00:01:58]
She bewitch all men soul[00:02:01]
Next thing I know I'm whisperin' sweet nothin's[00:02:03]
Lyin' in bed with my Black Rose[00:02:06]
I'm makin' love to my Black[00:02:09]
My Black Rose he don't own ya[00:02:10]
So stay with me tonight[00:02:16]
At nights I'd lie there and listen to her breathe[00:02:47]
With the sweat on my brow[00:02:49]
How could she sleep[00:02:51]
So deep so sweet as calm as a rock[00:02:52]
While I pushed back the seconds oozing from the clock[00:02:55]
Now the letters I wrote Frankie returned unread[00:02:57]
The word leaked out I'd be better off dead[00:03:00]
But in the crimson dawn Black Rose would unfold[00:03:03]
And drain all the poison from my soul[00:03:06]
Now I'm standin' up here on forty deuce[00:03:14]
Another terminal man waitin' for his bus[00:03:16]
Here come Frankie with his head all shaved[00:03:20]
Is that a piece in his pocket or is it a blade[00:03:22]
Now I'm lyin' face down in the terminal dirt[00:03:25]
With a hole in my chest but I don't feel no hurt[00:03:27]
I don't wanna go to heaven I been there before[00:03:30]
Just spent two years in paradise with my Black Rose[00:03:33]
She's the Queen of New York City[00:03:36]
She bewitch all men soul[00:03:39]
When you go and find her body[00:03:41]
Bury me next to my Black Rose[00:03:44]
Still in love with my Black Rose[00:03:47]
She's up in heaven now my Black Rose[00:03:49]
You won't be makin' love to my Black[00:03:52]
My Black Rose he don't own ya[00:03:54]
So stay with me tonight for the rest of your life[00:03:59]
Roisin Dubh me no can get over you[00:04:16]
A time is in me mind no matter what I do[00:04:19]
Roisin Dubh me no can get over you[00:04:21]
Now Frankie comin' back and I know that I am through[00:04:24]
Mister Frankie Diamond tell me do the right thing[00:04:27]
Watch his girl while he away at Sing Sing[00:04:30]
But me and Rosie we have a little fling[00:04:33]
Now Frankie comin' home wicked trouble it will bring[00:04:35]
Wicked trouble it will bring [00:04:39]
