Rosie Bokay

Rosie Bokay E A E A E B A E Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern B E That's where I'll be all night long B A E She pours me my label and sits at my table F# B7 And hums me a honky tonk song. E B A E Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings B E And the preacher has not seen her face A But the hypocrites naggin' don't keep me from draggin' E B E On my darlin' Rosie Bokay. E B A E I need Rosie Bokay F# B7 I need somebody to love all my troubles away E B A E I need Rosie Bokay E A A hound needs to holler, a bum needs a dollar E B E And I need Rosie Bokay. Honky tonk life ain't a life to be proud of But it's better than bein' alone Everyone tells me that Rosie ain't pretty But I've got a mind of my own. If not for the long nights that I spent with Rosie My days would be cloudy and grey If I was the mayor then do me a favor And bring in more Rosie Bokay.
