Paper Rosie - Gene Watson[00:00:00]
Written by:Dallas Harms[00:00:01]
The sun goes down in calvin county[00:00:07]
Neon lights from an old beer sign[00:00:14]
Shown through the window out on the sidewalk[00:00:21]
As I walked in to pass the time[00:00:29]
I looked around sat down at a table[00:00:37]
Ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine[00:00:44]
And through the door came a little old lady[00:00:51]
She was selling paper roses and they only cost a[00:01:00]
Dime[00:01:06]
Paper rosie paper rosie[00:01:09]
She sold you paper roses but they only cost a[00:01:18]
Dime[00:01:23]
Silver hair that's lost its' gold[00:01:27]
Trembling hand as she passed the rose[00:01:34]
Red crepe paper made nature's bouquet[00:01:42]
Help a little old lady buy a rose today[00:01:49]
I took the rose from her trembing hand[00:01:57]
With eyes of age she smilled and walked away[00:02:05]
Like a breath of spring[00:02:12]
I could smell the rose[00:02:16]
It came alive and I heard her say[00:02:20]
Buy my roses pretty roses[00:02:28]
They're only made of paper[00:02:37]
But they only cost a dime[00:02:40]
I went to look for her outside[00:02:46]
A spray of roses lay by her side[00:02:53]
The sky lit up and the choir sang[00:03:01]
A thousand voices as the church bells rang[00:03:09]
They sang rosie rosie paper rosie rosie[00:03:17]
She sold you paper roses[00:03:25]
But they only cost a dime[00:03:29]
Paper rosie rosie paper rosie rosie[00:03:34]
She sold you paper roses[00:03:42]
But they only cost a dime[00:03:46]
