ย
She was hanging in a pawn shop, in Memphis, Tennessee
She was young and high strung, her name was Rosalie
Her neck was long and slender, she said all the pearls are fine
And I gave up my wedding ring, so I could make her mine
ย
Then she rode with me to Nashville, where we joined a country band
Played smokey honky tonks, a thousand one night stands
The good times and the bad times, she kept me company
She made the nights less lonely, my sweet Rosalie
ย
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
No one woman ever got so close to me
Although there has been others, there will never be
Another one quite like my Rosalie
No, there'll never be another one like my Rosalie
ย
Well, the money wasn't good, gigs were few and far between
The drummer, he stopped drinkin', and the fiddler split the scene
Rosie stayed beside me, through the highs and the lows
And I was playing in a band, paying through the nose
ย
Well, I left her where I found her, and I walked out with a gun
I was half cocked and loaded, I went looking for someone
I came back in the springtime, I promised her I would
Rosalie was long gone, this time gone for good
ย
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no woman ever got so close to me
Although there have been others, there will never be
Another one quite like my Rosalie
No, there'll never be another one like my Rosalie
ย
Then late last Friday evening, I saw her on TV
Another guitar man was a holding my pretty Rosalie
Her neck was long and slender, and her body curves so fine
I weep when I remember when sweet Rosalie was mine
ย
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie, no woman ever got so close to me
Although there have been others, there will never be
Another one quite like my Rosalie
No, there'll never be another one like my Rosalie
ย
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie, Rosalie
