Crazy Rosie — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(Hazel Smith)

They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby
Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don`t care at all
She sits rockin` and singin` and crazy Rosie`s grinin`
Won`t say what she`s thinkin` she just sits and rocks a doll

When it comes to ladies, Rosie was first class
Her eighteen years had been the very best
`Til she met that traveller, she called darling James
Papa said he weren`t fit to speak Rosie`s name
Papa called him Jesse James

The talk was darling James took his own life
And Rosie thought she`d have her darling`s child
But papa made plans to hide Rosie`s shame
Papa sent her away to save the family name
Yeah he gave the son of Jesse James

They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby
Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don`t care at all
She sits rockin` and singin` and crazy Rosie`s grinin`
Won`t say what she`s thinkin` she just sits and rocks a doll

They say sometimes a tear comes to Rosie`s eye
Though she never has spoke since they took her child
For twenty years of silence papa was to blame
`Cause Rosie knows that papa took the life of darling James
Papa saved the family name

They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby
Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don`t care at all
She sits rockin` and singin` and crazy Rosie`s grinin`
Won`t say what she`s thinkin` she just sits and rocks a doll

They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby
Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don`t care at all
She sits rockin` and singin` and crazy Rosie`s grinin`
Won`t say what she`s thinkin` she just sits and rocks a doll

They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby..........
