She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows
But though my heart was true
It would never do
Her eyes was what she chose
Last night I saw
my lovely rose
I painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes have lost their spark
The years have left them art
She's just a painted, tainted rose
She was a wild and lovely rose Oh,
how I loved her,
heaven knows
But though my heart
was true
It would
never do
Party lights was
what she chose
Last night I saw my lovely rose
I painted up in fancy clothes
Her eyes have lost their spark
The years have left them art
She's just a painted,
tainted rose
She's just a painted,
tainted rose
