Paper Rosie
recorded by Gene Watson written by Dallas Harms
G C
The sun goes down in Calvin county
D7 G
Neon lights from an old beer sign
C
Shown through the window out on the sidewalk
D7 G
As I walked in to pass the time
C
I looked around sat down at a table
D7 G
Ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine
C
And through the door came a little old lady
D7 G
She was selling paper roses and they only cost a dime
D7 C
Paper Rosie paper Rosie
D7
She sold you paper roses
G
But they only cost a dime
C
Silver hair that's lost its gold
D7 G
Trembling hand as she passed the rose
C
Red Crepe paper made nature's bouquet
D7 G
Help a little old lady buy a rose today
C
I took the rose from her trembling hand
D7 G
With eyes of age she smiled and walked away
C
Like a breath of spring I could smell the rose
D7 G
It came alive and I heard her say
repeat #3
C
I went to look for her outside
D7 G
A spray of roses lay by her side
C
The sky lit up and the choir sang
D7 G
A thousand voices as the church bells rang
D7 C
They sang Rosie paper Rosie
D7
She sold you paper roses
G
But they only cost a dime
D7 C
Paper Rosie paper Rosie
D7
She sold you paper roses
G
But they only cost a dime
