statler brothers – bed of rose’s lyrics
she was called a scarlet woman by the people
who would go to church but left me in the street
with no parents of my own, i never had a home
and an eighteen year old boy has got to eat.
she found me outside one sunday morning
begging money from a man i didn’t know
she took me in and wiped away my childhood
a woman of the streets this lady rose.
this bed of rose’s that i lay on
where i was taught to be a man
this bed of rose’s where i’m livin’
is the only kind of life i understand.
she was a handsome woman, just thirty-five
who was spoken to in town by very few
she managed a late evening business
like most of the town wished they could do.
and i learned all the things that a man should know
from a woman not approved of i suppose
but she died knowing that i really loved her
off life’s bramble bush, i picked a rose.
this bed of rose’s that i lay on
where i was taught to be a man
this bed of rose’s where i’m livin’
is the only kind of life i understand.
this bed of rose’s that i lay on
where i was taught to be a man
this bed of rose’s where i’m livin’
is the only kind of life i understand.
