I knew a girl named Rosalie, |
|
We used to hang out in the park, |
|
We used to score the system grease, |
|
From the fellas after dark. |
|
We used to sail the streets at night, |
|
Used to hang out late, |
|
She had a bad time in the barrack, |
|
Caught a bullet in the teeth. |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
Rosalie come stay, |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
I never liked you anyway. |
|
I knew a girl named Mary Ann, |
|
She had a camera and a cane, |
|
She used to walk me to the station, |
|
When I was dying in the rain. |
|
She was a friend of Rosalie's, |
|
They had a nurse they liked to share, |
|
Well Mary Ann was doing the doctor, |
|
You know his covers went bare. |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
Rosalie come stay, |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
I never liked you anyway. |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
Rosalie come stay, |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
I never liked you anyway. |
|
I knew a boy named Billy Haynes, |
|
He had it all figured out, |
|
He had a trail of dust and branches marked, |
|
To get him back down south. |
|
But the blue lights had his number, |
|
And he was sweating hard from the heat, |
|
He's got a pack of bullets in his satchel |
|
Down on forty second street. |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
Rosalie come stay, |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
I never liked you anyway. |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
Rosalie come stay, |
|
Rosalie come go, |
|
I never liked you anyway |
