Lyrics
Rosie Bokay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rosie's the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern
That's where I'll be all night long
She pours me my label sits at my table
And hums me a honky tonk song
Rosie don't go to the PTA meetings
And the preacher has not seen her face
But the hypocrite naggin' don't keep me from draggin'
On my darlin' Rosie Bokay
I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love all my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler a bum needs a dollar
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
I need Rosie Bokay...
I need Rosie Bokay...
