My Pretty Rose Tree

Allen Ginsberg -My Pretty Rose Tree

Composer ：Poetry by William Black/Music by Allen Ginsberg

A flower was offered to me

Such a flower as May never bore

But I said I've a pretty rose tree'

And I passed the sweet flower o'er

Then I went to my pretty rose tree

To tend her by day and by night

But my rose turned away with jealousy

And her thorns were my only delight

And her thorns were my only delight

A flower was offered to me

Such a flower as May never bore

But I said I've a pretty rose tree

And I passed the sweet flower o'er

Then I went to my pretty rose tree

To tend her by day and by night

But my rose turned away with jealousy

And her thorns were my only delight

And her thorns were my only delight
