The sun goes down in Calvin County
neon lights from an old beer sign
shown through the window out on the sidewalk
as I walked in to pass the time
I looked around sat down at a table
ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine
and through the door came a little old lady
she was sellin' paper roses and they old cost a dime
Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie
she sold ya paper roses but they only cost a dime
Silver hair that's lost it's gold
