Paper Rosie lyrics

Artist  : Gene Watson 
Song : Paper Rosie



 Send "Paper Rosie" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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.
