Rose, Rose, Rose, this is the last time
I'll walk into this garden all alone without the one I love
For today is the day I'm gonna bring Rose back to stay
Oh, I've waited patiently, now the time is right for me
So I'll reach down, right to the ground

And pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause somehow I know she knows
This love deep in my heart is still alive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose 'cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to stay right by my side

I'm comin' Rose, I'm comin' Rose
Years ago when I was just a poor boy
And her wealthy parents didn't fancy me
So they sent my Rose away to a far off lonely place
But when it was time to leave, my Rose cried out to me
Remember me, that's why you see

I will pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause somehow I know she knows
This love deep in my heart is still alive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose 'cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to be right by my side

I'm comin' Rose, I'm comin' Rose
Now that I, I walk slowly from this garden
A train ticket held tightly in my hand
And somewhere patiently my Rose is waiting there for me
So then we'll be alone and I'll bring my baby home
And be around for her surprise

I'll pick a rose for my Rose
'Cause somehow I know she knows
That this love deep in my heart is still alive
I'll pick a rose for my Rose 'cause today I'm gonna go
And bring her back to be right by my side

I'm comin' Rose, I'm comin' Rose
'Cause this love deep in my heart is still alive
