She was hanging in a pawn shop In Memphis Tennessee She was young and high strung And her name was Rosalie Her neck was long and slender She set off the pearl so fine I gave up my wedding ring So i could make her mine Then she rode with me to Nashville Where we joined a country band Played the smoky honkytonks And a thousand one night stands The good times and the bad times She kept me company She made the nights less lonely My sweet rosalie (Chorus:) Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie No woman ever got so close to me Although there have been others There will never be Another one Quite like my Rosalie No, there'll never be another one Like my Rosalie Well the money wasn't good The gigs were few and far between The drummer he stopped drinkin And the fiddler split the scene But Rosie stayed beside me Through the highs and through the lows When i was playing in the band And payin through the nose I left her where i found her And i walked off with a gun I was half cocked and loaded I went lookin for someone But i came back in the springtime I promised her i would But Rosalie was long gone This time gone for good (Chorus) Then late last friday evening I saw her on tv Another guitar man was holding My pretty Rosalie Her neck was long and slender Her body curved so fine I weep when i remember That sweet Rosalie was mine (Chorus) |
