She was hanging in a pawn shop in Memphis, TN.
She was young & high strung her name was Rosalie,
Her neck was long & slender, they said all the pearls are fine,
I gave up my wedding ring so I could make her mine,
Then she rode with me to Nashville, where we joined a
Country band, played a thousand different honky tonks
And a thousand one night stands, Thru good times & ss
the bad times she gives me company, she made a nice -i
sweet home with me my little Rosalie,
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no one else got so close to me
Although there has been others, there will never be,
Another one quite like my little Rosalie, No there will
Never be another one like my Rosalie,
verse
Well the money wasn't good, it was few & far between,
But then he'd start drinkin' & the fiddle split the scene
Old Rosie stood besides me, thru the highs & the lows
And I was playing in a band, paying thru the nose
Solo
Well I left her where I found her, and I walked out with a gun
I was half cocked & loaded I went looking for someone
Then I came back in the springtime, I promised her I would
But Rosalie long gone, this time it was for good,
Chorus
Then late last night in the evening, I saw her on T V
Another guitar man was a holding my pretty Rosalie,
Her neck was long & slender, and her body curves so fine,
I weep & now remember when sweet Rosalie was mine,
