One Red Rose - John Prine
Email: Dlgibson@netscape.com
Year: 1993
Intro: G
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 me
If I told you
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
(Repeat Chorus 3x)
