CD Very Best Of Buck Owens Vol. 1
D
I met her out in Oklahoma
G D
Down where the old Red River flows
G D
I vowed my love to her forever
A 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
Like the muddy waters down below.
D G C G
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey
C G
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold
C G
Her cheeks were red as summer roses
D G //// A
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 D
And there he met my Rosie Jones.
(Spoken)
I woke next morning just after sunup
To find a note from my Rosie's hand
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you
But I'm in love with that tall dark man.
So now I walk alone down by the river
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters
For I can't live without Rosie Jones.
