Sweet Rosie Jones

N.C. I met her D out in Oklahoma G D Down where the old Red River flows G D I vowed my love to her forever A A7 D She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones. D We walked alone down by the river G D Just as the sun was sinking low G D And in her eyes I saw big trouble A D D7 Like the muddy waters down below. D7 G C G Her lips were soft and sweet as honey G C G Her hair was bright as yellow gold G C G Her cheeks were red as summer roses D7 G A7 She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones. D And then one day a tall dark stranger G D With hair as black as winter coal G D Rode into town as night was falling A A7 D And there he met my Rosie Jones. (SPOKEN) D I woke next morning just after sunup G To find a note from my Rosie's hand D And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you G But I'm in love with that tall dark man. D So now I walk alone down by the river Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll A7 And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters D For I can't live without Rosie Jones. D7 G C G Her lips were soft and sweet as honey G C G Her hair was bright as yellow gold G C G Her cheeks were red as summer roses D7 G She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones.
