Little Mary was five years old Her parents left her, she was out in the cold A long to live and find a way In this great world of heartache and pain Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold Her flower dress is tattered and soiled Tears stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare Who could have left a child so rare Rosemary, your day will come He loved you so, he gave his only son Keep your faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you please Hold on to the beads in your heart A burning heart and tired eyes Howling winds for lullabies No one there to soothe your fright Nowhere to turn but the inward light Because life is for believing That your heart can turn to gold All you need is Christ to receive it There's eternal life for every soul Rosemary, your day will come He loved you so, he gave his only son Keep your faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you please Hold on to the beads in your heart Rosemary, Rosemary He loves you, he needs you He wants you, so don't let him down Rosemary, your day will come He loved you so, he gave his only son Keep your faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you please Hold on to the beads in your heart Rosemary, look at the past and know Rosemary, no, no, no, no, no, no Rosemary Keep the faith in your soul
