From the album 'Buck 'em - the music of Buck Owens 1967 - 1975' [Verse 1]
N.C.I met her Dout in Oklahoma Down where the Gold Red River fDlows I vowed my Glove to her forDever She was my sweet, sAweet A7Rosie DJones.
[Verse 2]
DWe walked alone down by the river Just as the Gsun was sinking Dlow And in her Geyes I saw Dbig trouble Like the muddy Awaters down beDlow. D7
[Verse]
D7Her lips were Gsoft and Csweet as hoGney Her hair was Gbright as yCellow Ggold Her cheeks were GredC as summer rosGes She was my sweet,D7 sweet Rosie GJones.A7
[Verse 3]
And then one dDay a tall dark stranger With hair as Gblack as winter Dcoal Rode into Gtown as night was Dfalling And there he Amet my A7Rosie DJones.
[Interlude] (SPOKEN)
DI woke next morning just after sunup To find a note from my Rosie's hand G And it read I'd rather die than ever Dhurt you But I'm in love with that tall dark man.G So now I walk alone down by the riverD
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark watersA7 For I can't live without Rosie DJones.
[Verse]
D7Her lips were Gsoft and Csweet as hoGney Her hair was Gbright as yCellow Ggold Her cheeks were Gred as Csummer rosGes She was my sweet,D7 sweet Rosie GJones.
