Banks Of The Roses Lyrics
The song Banks Of The Roses is performed by Tears For Beers .
Send Banks Of The Roses Ringtone to your Cell
When I was a wee thing and easy led astray
It's before I would work, I would rather sport and play
It's before I would work, I would rather sport and play
With my Johnny on the banks of red roses
On the banks of red roses my love and I sat down
He took out his fiddle and began to play a tune
And when the tune was ended his love broke down and cried
"Oh Johnny, darling Johnny, never leave me"
He took out his pocket knife and it was long and sharp
And he plunged it through and through the bonnie la*sie's heart
He plunged it through and through the bonnie la*sie's heart
And he let her lying low on the roses
(repeat first verse)
