paper rosie - gene watson lyrics
the sun goes down in calvin county
neon lights from an old beer sign
shown through the window out on the sidewalk
as i walked in to p-ss the time;
i looked around, sat down at a table
ordered beef on rye and a gl-ss of wine
and through the door came a little old lady
she was selling paper roses and they only cost a dime.
paper rosie …paper rosie …
she sold you paper roses; but they only cost a dime.
silver hair that’s lost its’ gold
trembling hand as she p-ssed the rose
red crepe paper, made nature’s bouquet
help a little old lady buy a rose today;
i took the rose from her trembing hand
with eyes of age, she smilled and walked away
like a breath of spring i could smell the rose
it came alive and i heard her say.
buy my roses, pretty roses
they’re only made of paper
but they only cost a dime.
i went to look for her outside
a spray of roses lay by her side
the sky lit up and the choir sang
a thousand voices as the church bells rang.
they sang rosie (rosie), paper rosie (rosie)
she sold you paper roses
but they only cost a dime.
paper rosie (rosie), paper rosie (rosie)
she sold you paper roses
but they only cost a dime.
