A long, long time ago

On graduation day
6 -5 5 5 -4 -4
You handed me your book

I signed this way:

(Chorus)

«Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.

But not as sweet as you.»

(Verse 2 same notes as verse 1)

We dated through high school.
And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
next to my name:

(Same notes as last chorus)

«Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.»

-6 6 -5 5 -4 5
Then I went far away
-3 -4 4 4 -4 5
And you found someone new
-6 6 -5 -5 -4 5
I read your letter dear
-5 6 6 6 -6 6
And I wrote back to you:

(Same notes as last Chorus)

«Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may god bless you.»

(Same notes as verse 1)

Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write
in her book, too.

(Same notes as last Chorus)

«Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.»

And the lads and the lasses do sheep shearing go.

When we have all sheared our jolly, jolly sheep,
What joy can be greater than to talk of their increase.

Chorus

For their flesh it is good, it’s the best of all food,
And their wool it will cloth us and keep our backs from the cold.

Chorus

Here’s the ewes and the lambs, here’s the hogs and the rams,
And the fat wethers too they will make a fine show.

A-way from Miss-is-sip-pi’s vale

With my old hat there for a sail

To Rose of Al-a-bam-a

Oh, brown Rosey,

-4 6 6 6 -4 5 6
A sweet to-bac-co posey
7 8 -8 -7 -6 6 -7 6
Is the Rose of Al-a-bam-a

Some of the other verses:

The river rolled, the crickets sing,
The lightnin’ bug he flash’d his wing,
And like a rope my arms I fling
Round Rose of Alabama.

I ask her set down where she please,
So cross my legs she took her ease,
«It’s good to go upon the knees,»
Says Rose of Alabama.

I hug so long I cannot tell,
For Rosey seemed to like it well,
My banjo in the river fell,
Oh, Rose of Alabama.

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon
But if that’s what it takes to hold you

Still waters run deep
And there won’t always be someone there
To pull you out
And you know what I’m talkin’ about
So smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times

VERSE 2:

You don’t have to call me lieutenant Rosie

6 6 -6 6 6 6 5 4
And I don’t want to be your son

4 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 -6
The only lover I’m ever gonna need’s

Little Gun’s downtown in front of Woolworth’s

6 6 6 6 -6 -6-6 5 5 -4 4
Trying out his attitude on all the cats

7 7 7 6 6 -6 5 6 6 6 -6
Papa’s on the corner, waiting for the bus

5 6 6 6 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 5 -4 4
Mama she’s home in the window, waiting up for us

7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 -6 —
She’ll be there in that chair when they wrestle
6 6 -6
her upstairs

6 6 -6 6 6 6 5 4
Cause you know we ain’t gonna come

7 7 7 -6 -6 6 6 -6 5 6 6 6 6

7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor

7 7 7 7 7 -6 -7 5 6 6 6 -5
Oh closets are for hangers, winners use the door

6 -6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 5
So use it Rosie, that’s what it’s there for

CHORUS:

7 7 7 7 -6 6 6 5 6 -6
Rosalita you’re my stone desire

VERSE 5:
4 -4 -4 -3 -4-4 -3 -4 -4 5
Now I know your mama she don’t like me

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
Cause I play in a rock and roll band

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 6
And I know your daddy don’t dig me but he never
6 6 6 6
did understand

5 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 7
Your papa lowered the boom, he locked you in
7 -6
your room

4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
I’m coming to lend a hand

7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 -6 6 7
I’m coming to liberate you, confiscate you, I
7 6 6 5 -6
want to be your man

-3 -3 -3 4 4 4 4 5 -4 -4 5
Someday we’ll look back on this and it will all
-4 -4 4
seem funny

7 7 7 -6 -7 7 7 -6 7 7
But now you’re sad, your mama’s mad and your

7 7 7 7 -6 6 6 5 6 6 5 -6 6
Papa says he knows that I don’t have any money

7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 6 5 6 6 5
Oh your papa says he knows that I don’t have any
-6 6
money

7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 6 5 6
So your daddy says he knows that I don’t have
6 5 -6 6
any money

7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Tell him this is his last chance

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6
To get his daughter in a fine romance

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Because the record company Rosie just gave me a
7 7 7
big advance

VERSE 6:

And my tyres were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had
mercy,
And my machine, she’s a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere
In the swamps of New Jersey.
Well, hold on tight, stay up all night, cause Rosie I’m coming on
strong.
By the time we meet in the morning light I will hold you in my arms.
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego
way.
There’s a little café where they play guitars all night and all day,
You can hear them in the back room strumming.
So hold tight baby cause don’t you know daddy’s coming. Ah everybody
sing.

When I look at the sky
But can’t see through the clouds

Nothing in this world comes easily
But I can’t lose with her right next to me
