One Red Rose Lyrics by John Prine

One Red Rose Lyrics

    The rain came down
    On the tin roof
    Hardly
    A sound was left
    From the birthday party
    The kitchen light
    Fell asleep
    On the bedroom floor
    Me and her were talking softer
    Than all the time
    Before i lost her
    Picture sat on top
    Of the chest of drawers

    Chorus:
    One red rose
    In the bible
    Pressed between
    The holy alphabet
    Probably wouldn't believe you
    If you told me
    But what i never knew
    I never will forget

    Rainy nites
    Get dark real early
    Her dress was soft
    And her hair was curly
    We danced around the table
    To the old banjo
    Rainy nites
    Were made for lovers
    We lay there still
    Beneath the covers
    And i ain't never felt
    Like that before

    Chorus:
