It's been a long walk down this cold dark street She doesn't remember the faces of the men she meets She stops by the dumpster, looking for something to eat Stops by the laundromat, looking for a bit of heat Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home, come on home You know she swears he had the bluest eyes Before he took her in the middle of the night She's just an angel, caught in the undertow She ended up on the dark side of the road Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home Only sixteen she's still a girl She's living on her own in this stone cold world She's the only thing for sale on this street tonight You can say what you want, but it's just not right We all know it's just not right She's gone as far as far as she can go She couldn't help it, she just didn't know She's someone's baby, she's someone's daughter Some mother's heart still waits with the water Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come on home Oh, rose of Jericho How many times must you be bought and sold Oh, rose of Jericho Maybe it's time for you to come home, come home |
