Ballad of Rosalie
Cody Canada and the Departed

She was hanging in a pawn shop

In Memphis Tennessee

She was young and high strung

And her name was Rosalie


Her neck was long and slender

She set off the pearl so 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 the smoky honkytonks

And a thousand one night stands


The good times and the bad times

She kept me company

She made the nights less lonely

My sweet rosalie


(Chorus:)


Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie

No woman ever got so close to me

Although there have been others

There will never be

Another one

Quite like my Rosalie


No, there'll never be another one

Like my Rosalie


Well the money wasn't good

The gigs were few and far between


The drummer he stopped drinkin

And the fiddler split the scene


But Rosie stayed beside me

Through the highs and through the lows

When i was playing in the band

And payin through the nose


I left her where i found her

And i walked off with a gun

I was half cocked and loaded

I went lookin for someone


But i came back in the springtime

I promised her i would

But Rosalie was long gone

This time gone for good


(Chorus)


Then late last friday evening

I saw her on tv

Another guitar man was holding

My pretty Rosalie


Her neck was long and slender

Her body curved so fine

I weep when i remember

That sweet Rosalie was mine


(Chorus)
