This is a gal who I used to let crash at my place when she was on the streets. She's off the streets now, and on to better things. This is a ccnew version with Harmonica for the 1st time by yours trully :]
Lyrics
ccccShe walks down the road, with her life on her backccshe's the Rose of the streets of GreshamccDown every sidewalk or railroad trackccshe's the rose of the streets of GreshamccccAnd though she talks to herself in nonsensical phrases,ccshe's got more on upstairs than it might seemccAnd all the guys say you see, a man's fool she'll never beccshe's the rose of the streets of GreshamccccThe hand of Providence, must be there on her sidecca girl who mostly keeps to herselfccBut if the Lord above keeps lookin' out for herccshe has all she needs more than wealthccccThe storms they may rage and the ground unforgiving,ccand the brushes barely keep the rain awayccBut thru the cold don't you know, somehow there still growsccA rose out in the streets of GreshamccccShe talks about her babies she left so long agoccwonders who is holding them nowccShe doesn't know how or when she'll see them againccshe knows she'll make a way somehowccccShe walks down the road, with her life on her backccshe's the Rose of the streets of GreshamccDown every sidewalk or railroad trackccshe's the rose of the streets of GreshamccccAnd though she keeps on the move to everybody's sofaccfrom every free meal in town she canccIf you think of her today, remind yourself to prayccfor every Rose in the streets of GreshamccShe's the rose of the streets of your Greshamccshe's the rose of the streets... of GreshamccccccHear more tunes:cccc
