Paper Rosie

Intro: Pick chords from 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 trembling hands as she passed a row red cray paper made nature's bouquet help a little old lady buy a rose today I took the rose from her trembling hand with eyes of age she smiled and walked away like a breath of spring I could smell the rose it came alive and I heard her say *Chorus* Buy my roses, pretty roses they're only made of paper but they only cost a dime I went to look for her outside a spray of roses lay by her side the sky lit up and the choir sang a thousand voices as the church bells rang *Chorus* They sang Rosie, Paper Rosie She sold ya paper roses but they only cost a dime Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie She sold ya paper roses but they only cost a dime
