Rose In Paradise

In the style of

Waylon Jennings

Lyrics

she was a flower
for the taking
her beauty cut
just like a knife

he was a banker
from macon
swore to love her
all his life

he bought her
a mansion
on a mountain
with a formal garden
and a lotta land

but paradise
became her prison
that georgia banker
was a jealous man

every time
he'd talk about her
you could see
the fire in his eyes
he'd say

i would walk
through hell
on sunday
to keep my
rose in paradise

he hired a man
to tend the garden
to keep an eye on her
while he was gone
some say they
ran away together
some say that
gardener left alone

now the banker
is an old man
that mansion's
crumblin' down
he sits all day and
stares at the garden
not a trace of her
was ever found

every time
he talks about her
you can see
the fire in his eyes
he says

i would walk
through hell
on sunday
to keep my
rose in paradise

now there's a rose
out in the garden
its beauty cuts
just like a knife

they say
it even grows
in the wintertime
and blooms in
the dead of the night
