Rosalie

Lyrics

She was standing with a suitcase By the Hotel Paradise I could tell she was a lady She did not advertise She wore a little sailor hat Her gown hung to the floor She said, "My name is Rosalie Don't ask me anymore" Rosalie, Rosalie Good times are a dozen for a dime Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie I said, "I'm from Ohio I am quiet and refined I see you are a woman Who's got traveling on her mind I'll take you to San Pedro Where the boats are coming in You can look out at the watеr And remember whеre you've been" Rosalie, Rosalie Share my fortune and my time Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie I would not give a nickel For all the girls who lied Who promised me a good time And left me dissatisfied I'll build a boat of walnut wood With sails of ruby red I'm gonna sail away with Rosalie And marry her instead Rosalie, Rosalie Rosalie
