Jealous Words

O sweet Rosie Lee

Like a sister to me

But you thought I was playing you smart

Jealous Words

Won’t lie still

In my heart

You saw us there dancing

And you thought us romancing

Suspicion has ripped us apart

With your interpretation

On my reputation

You blinded yourself to the truth

To add some more weight

To your ramblings of late

Well, dear won’t you bring us some proof

How you cursed and you cried

As you locked me outside

You said I was bad from the start

How your father abused

And your mother accused

They said I was acting a part

O I knew when we met

You’d never forget

Each pothole and bump in the road

And if I left your side

What a blow to your pride

You’re that better than me, I suppose

O the doubt in me’s growing

And it hurts me just knowing

Another night’s sleep will depart
