| Second hand shoes, second hand clothes
|
| They all call her second hand rose
|
| They all think they’re pretty smart
|
| But rose don’t have a second hand heart
|
| I love a little girl who lives across the way
|
| I go to see her nearly every day
|
| But when I get the money I’ll take her away
|
| And they can’t gather around her and say
|
| (Second hand shoes, second hand clothes)
|
| They all call her second hand rose
|
| They all think they’re pretty smart
|
| But rose don’t have a second hand heart
|
| They tease her about her clothes and things
|
| It’s hard to believe some folks could be so mean
|
| But when I get the money I’ll buy her the best
|
| I’ll take a rose you can have all the rest
|
| (Second hand shoes, second hand clothes)
|
| They all call her second hand rose
|
| They all think they’re pretty smart
|
| But rose don’t have a second hand heart
|
| (Second hand shoes, second hand clothes)
|
| They all call her second hand rose
|
| They all think they’re pretty smart
|
| But rose don’t have a second hand heart
|
| (My sweet rose…) |
