Sweet Rose - Eilen Jewell

Where’d you go last night?

With a rose in your hand

You were quite a sight

In the road, I understand

Did you go see

Someone I know?

Is she pretty?

Do you think so?

You didn’t see

Who watched your way

You’ve no idea

Do you?

What you’ll say…

Say you’ll be mine

Tell me one more lie

One last time

Before you say goodbye

The night wind weeps

A high barren sound

My love sleeps

Beneath the bitter ground

And on his breast

His cold hands hold

In lonesome rest

His sweet rose
