Sweet Rosie Jones Lyrics - Buck Em!: The Music Of Buck Owens, 1967-1975: Vol. 2 - Buck Owens

I met her out in Oklahoma down where the old Red River flows 

I vowed my love to her forever she was my sweet sweet Rosie Jones 

We walked alone down by the river just as the sun was sinking low 

And in her eyes I saw big trouble like the muddy waters down below 

Her lips were soft and sweet as honey her hair was bright as yellow as gold 

Her cheeks were red as summer roses she was my sweet sweet Rosie Jones 

And then one day a tall dark stranger with hair as black as winter coal 

Rode into town as night was falling and there he met my Rosie Jones 

I woke next morning just after sunup to find a note from my Rosie's hand 

And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you but I'm in love with that tall dark man 

So now I walk alone down by the river where my sweet Rosie used to stroll 

And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters for I can't live without Rosie Jones 

Her lips were soft...
