Paper Rosie lyrics

Artist  : Watson Gene 
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
