Bed Of Rose's Lyrics - Statler Brothers Live - Sold Out - The Statler Brothers

She was called a scarlet woman by the people 

Who would go to church but left me in the streets 

With no parents of my own, I never had a home 

But an eighteen year old boy has got to eat 

She found me outside one Sunday morning 

Begging money from a man I didn't know 

She took me in and wiped away my childhood 

A woman of the streets this lady Rose 

This bed of roses that I lay on 

Where I was taught to be a man 

This bed of roses where I'm livin' 

Is the only kind of life I'll understand 

She was a handsome woman just thirty-five 

Who was spoken to in town by very few 

She managed a late evening business 

Like most of the town wished they could do 

And I learned all the things that a man should know 

From a woman not approved of, I suppose 

She died knowing that i really loved her 

Of life's bramble bush I picked a rose 

This bed of roses that I lay on 

Where I was taught to be a man 

This bed of roses where I'm livin' 

Is the only kind of life I'll understand 

This bed of roses that I lay on 

Where I was taught to be a man 

This bed of roses where I'm livin' 

Is the only kind of life I'll understand
