I was headed up North on an Amtrack train,
When I got there, all it did was rain.
Rosie, help me forget my pain
When I'm so far from home.
There ain't nothin' that I've ever seen,
Like my Rosie ridin' round in a red limousine.
Everybody say she look the queen of the now
So come on Rosie and smile x2
Come on Rosie and smile,
We'll bring it back in style.
Come on Rosie and smile.
Well the winter came and winter went,
When I woke up all my money'd been spent.
Rosie gave up eatin' pork for Lent,
Now she don't bring home the bacon no more.
Repeat Chorus
If the ocean was whiskey,
And I was a gup,
I'd swim to the bottom
And I'd drink my way up.
Rosie, sip on your Dixie cup,
I'm in no shape to drive tonight.
Repeat Chorus
Now those Concord boys
They sing so well
A little off key
But you can't really tell.
This old guitar has been through hell
But my Rosie, she don't seem to mind.
