Rose (Live) - Glen Yarbrough

作词：Rod Mckuen

作曲：Rod Mckuen

I married rose in '２１

We got a little farm

First year out the barn burned down

And i broke my good right arm

From then on in things got bad

I guess they coulda been worse

But seein' rose in rags all day

Just made me wanta curse

That's ok rose would say

Don't you worry none

We'll have good times by and by

Next fall when the work's all done

I watched her hands grow rough and red

From pickin' in the fields

And putting up in mason jars

What little crops they'd yield

I'd find what jobs there were in town

Most times there were none

But rose'd still have supper a waitin

At night when the day was done

That's ok rose would say

Don't you worry none

We'll have good times by and by

Next fall when the work's all done

Our first born had a face like rose

And i guess a temper like mine

She'd sleep all day and cry all night

But she grew up and married fine

Our only son went off to fight in nineteen

And forty four

A year went by and a telegram said

He ain't comin home no more

One winter night in fifty nine

Rose took a terrible chill

She went to sleep and didn't wake up

I guess she's sleeping still

But sometimes when the wind is singing

High up in the chinaberry tree

It seems it's not the wind at all

But rose a singing to me

That's ok rose would say

Don't you worry none

We'll have good times by and by

Next fall when the work's all done

That's ok rose would say

Don't you worry none

We'll have good times by and by

Next fall when the work's all done

That's ok rose would say

Don't you worry none

We'll have good times by and by

Next fall when the work's all done
