Poor old Rose, she's gone strange in the headShe sees dear dead Earl at the foot of her bedAnd she tells him her troubles and he smiles and he nodsAnd she sleeps secure in her knowledge of GodEarl do you remember when we were in schoolThe teacher always said I was nobody's foolThese people here, they treat me like a childThey feed me and they dress me, defeat me with their smilingPoor old Rose, she's gone strange in the headShe sees dear dead Earl at the foot of her bedAnd she tells him her troubles and he smiles and he nodsAnd she sleeps secure in her knowledge of GodEarl do you remember when we were youngYou said I looked so lovely, it tied up your tongueIt's hard to believe when you see me todayAll my pretty things, they've stolen them awayPoor old Rose, she's gone strange in the headShe sees dear dead Earl at the foot of her bedAnd she tells him her troubles and he smiles and he nodsAnd she sleeps secure in her knowledge of GodEarl do you remember when we were wetYou never would leave me, that's what you saidI know they all pity me for being aloneThey can't understand, we're always togetherPoor old Rose, she's gone strange in the headShe sees dear dead Earl at the foot of her bedAnd she tells him her troubles and he smiles and he nodsAnd she sleeps secure in her knowledge of GodEarl do you remember when we were in school*
