Lyrics:
The sun goes down in Calvin county
Neon lights from an old beer sign
Shown through the window out on the sidewalk
As I walked in to pass the time
I looked around sat down at a table
Ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine (Ballintine)
And through the door came a little old lady
She was selling paper roses and they only cost a dime
Paper Rosie paper Rosie
She sold you paper roses
But they only cost a dime
Silver hair that's lost its gold
Trembling hands as she passed the rose
Red Crepe paper made nature's bouquet
Help a little old lady buy a rose today
I took the rose from her trembling hand
With eyes of age she smiled and walked away
Like a breath of spring I could smell the rose
It came alive and I heard her say
Buy my roses Pretty roses
They’re only made of paper
But they only cost a dime
I went to look for her outside
A spray of roses lay by her side
The sky lit up and the choir sang
A thousand voices as the church bells rang
They sang Rosie paper Rosie
She sold you paper roses
But they only cost a dime
Paper Rosie paper Rosie
She sold you paper roses
But they only cost a dime
