Lyrics
Paper Rosie 4/4 (smooth & gentle) Adagio 68 beats recorded by Gene Watson written by Dallas Harms INTRO Single Guitar and Rimshot with High-hat accents only 1st Verse VERSE.1 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 pass the time Full Band Gently comes in. Verse 2. I looked around sat down at a table Ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine And through the door came a little old lady She was selling paper roses and they only cost a dime CHORUS Paper Rosie paper Rosie, She sold ya paper roses But they only cost a dime VERSE.3 Silver hair that's lost its gold Trembling hand as she passed a row Red Crepe paper made nature's bouquet Help a little old lady buy a rose today VERSE.4 I took the rose from her trembling hand With eyes of age she smiled and walked away Like a breath of spring I could smell the rose It came alive and I heard her say CHORUS Buy my roses, Pretty roses, they are only made of paper, But they only cost a dime. Verse.5 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 CHORUS They sang Rosie paper Rosie, She sold ya paper roses But they only cost a dime CHORUS Paper Rosie paper Rosie, She sold ya paper roses But they only cost a dime Band slowly quieten down------------------------- She sold ya paper roses, But they only cost a dime -----------Single Guitar & Singer only She sold ya paper roses, But they only cost a dime OUTRO
