Paper Rosie |
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; |
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 |
Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie |
She sold you Paper Roses, But they only cost a dime |
Silver hair that’s lost its' Gold |
Trembling hand as she passed the rose |
Red Crepe paper, made nature’s bouquet |
Help a little old lady buy a rose today; |
I took the rose from her trembing hand |
With eyes of age, she smilled and walked away |
Like a breath of spring I could smell the rose |
It came alive and I heard her say |
Buy my Roses, pretty roses |
They’re only made of paper |
But they only cost a dime |
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 |
They sang Rosie (Rosie), paper Rosie (Rosie) |
She sold you Paper Roses |
But they only cost a dime |
Paper Rosie (Rosie), Paper Rosie (Rosie) |
She sold you paper roses |
But they only cost a dime |
