Story behind the song
The story of a young rebellious girl facing the gallows
Lyrics
VERSE 1.
They sentenced her to hanging On the morning of the eight
Her feet and hands both shackled As they closed that rusty gate
She robbed a bank in Rio Grande And talked the more she drank
The pain is etched upon her face Her eyes are all a blank
VERSE 2.
The cold dark cell she lay in holds memories of lost years
Thinking of her life gone by She can’t hold back the tears
Can’t bear to look at her last meal As days they turn to hours
A final word the preacher’s here they pray to higher power
CHORUS
Preacher man just pray with me Before I have to go
I do not want to die alone My fears are all I know, please
[&&] take my hand understand The road in life I chose
oh the road I chose like the waters of a river
And in its path one Rose [$$]
oh one Rose one Rose
VERSE 3.
Her last few moments here on earth Her heart it beats so fast
Those timber steps into the sky are gonna be her last
She feels the air upon her face and tears fall from her eyes
She looks up to the heavens Today this rose will die
REPEAT CHORUS TO [$$],
THEN REPEAT FROM [&&], WITH EXTRA TITLE PHRASE
