Rose From The Mountain Lyrics - Odessa Tapes - Flatlanders

(Louis Driver) 

Well she's my Rose from the mountain where I come from 

Back in ol' Colorado where they reach up and touch the sun 

But I took her to the city where the air ain't clean 

And it's wilted my Rose from the mountain 

(Chorus) 

Where a good guitar picker makes more money than a cowboy 

So I thought I'd try my luck makin' records in L.A. 

But a lot of them bloys make a lot more music than I can 

And if Rose don't like the city life I think I'll take her home 

Well I can see her in the mornin' runnin' barefoot through the meadow 

With a smile on her face and her hair a-hangin' long 

Well I love my sweet Rosey and oh she loves me 

So I'm takin' her back home to the mountain 

(Chorus) 

She's my Rose from the mountain where I come from 

Back in ol' Colorado where they reach up and touch the sun 

But I took her to the city where the air ain't clean 

And it's wilted my Rose from the mountain 

Yes it's wilted my Rose from the mountain
