Mr. John Lee (Velveteen Rose) |
Mr. John Lee knew about your family |
You came when I was lonesome |
In the fairest of the spring |
But I did not care for your wedding ring |
But I did care for Marie |
Farewell, my sweet |
Bowled you off and took me |
How my hair was a raven |
And my eyes were shining bright |
But I did not love you quite as well |
As your darling loving wife |
But every time that you see |
Your Velveteen Rose |
Then think of how you once called me |
Your Velveteen Rose |
Mr. John Lee |
'Twas an act that you told me |
The burning thoughts you harbored me |
The sheriff found your sweet Marie |
Floating by the river weeds |
In the fields of green |
But every time that you see |
Your Velveteen Rose |
Then think of how you once called me |
Your Velveteen Rose |
