Little Rosa - Red Sovine

Little Rosa LRC歌词

作曲 : Red Sovine Little Rosa was her name and still I cry in vain My world won't be the same since she's gone from me I have gone to visit the grave of a friend of mine and as I walked thru the graveyard I noticed this man kneeling down by the grave of a child And in his hand he held a big red rose and tears were streaming down his cheeks I walked over and laid a hand on his shoulder and started to talk to him And during the course of our conversation and in his broken English This is the story just as he told it to me He said to me Mister I've walked down the street on today And I passed about the big flower shop I walked in and I asked the man in the shop I said boss how much is for one red rose Then he looked at me with one bigger smile and he says it's one dollar please But in a buyin' buyer was well dressed blonde lady walked in And she says how much is for one red rose And he looked at her with one bigger smile and he says it's ten cents Now I said boss how come to you to charge me a dollar for the rose And charged the young lady only ten cents When he says look Mister you tell me why you want the rose And maybe I give it to you for not I said boss I'm a hard working man working a railroad and gonna make too much money And I got a little girl and her name was Rosa Rosa's just about this high boss Every day when I'd come home from the work A little Rosa come running to meet her papa And she'd throw her little arms around my neck and say papa and I'd say Rosa But one day boss I've come home from the work I don't see Rosa I looked down by the railroad track and I see one big crowd I'd go down and I pushed the crowd this a way and pushed the crowd that a way There boss at my feet lay my little Rosa and that's why I want the rose boss I wanna put it on little Rosa's grave Then man he didn't say not but he picked the biggest and the reddest rose And he gave it to me And I said thank you boss thank you very much And though she's gone you see she's still the world to me To me she'll always be that little girl of mine
