"Rosalie" lyrics

Make me sing a song
A cold one, dead and gone
A new one that could still sound like a part of me
Lord knows I can, I need to hear it from another man
I could sing a song that comes straight from the heart of me
Like walking along, like singing a song about Rosalie
Yeah, walking along, just singing a song about Rosalie

I've lived outside the law
I killed in Arkansas
Lived with lonesome, silent sins inside of me
Such saviors when they came
But now they're leaving by another name
They're just fallen friends there's not one left to lie to me
I'm walking along, I've been singing a song about Rosalie
Yeah, walking along, singing a song about Rosalie

I could not tell you how
The blues don't touch me now
They had me down and I was singing in a minor key
And they would not let me be
But now I'm sailing on another sea
Go tell my momma that she's gon' have to cry for me
'Cause I'm walking along, I been singing a song about Rosalie
Yeah, walking along, singing a song about Rosalie

Make me sing a song
A cold one, dead and gone
A new one that could still sound like a part of me
Lord knows I can, I need to hear it from another man
That I could sing a song that comes straight from the heart of me
Like walking along, like singing a song about Rosalie
Yeah, walking along, just singing a song about Rosalie
