The Golden Rose

Well, The Golden Rose sailed with a broken man

Going south

Got on board with a woman to lead him around

By the mouth

And it's goodbye

Golden Rose

Yeah, it's goodbye

Golden Rose

Well, the captain who swears if he speaks at all

Wears a gun

Got a first maid who's never quite on the ball

For his son

And it's goodbye

Golden Rose

Yeah, it's goodbye

Golden Rose

Wish I was back in her arms again

Wish I was holding her tight

Wish I was back in her arms again

Safe from the night

She stood on the shore and she waved to me:

"Come back home"

Many a-night I would think of her

All alone

And it's goodbye

Golden Rose

Yeah, it's goodbye

Golden Rose
