Rose, Ro-ose, Ro-o-ose
This is the last time I''ll walk into this gar-arden
All alone without the one I lo-ove
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 dow-ow-own 
Right to the grou-ou-ound

And pick a rose for my Ro-ose
''Cause somehow I know she know-ows
This love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
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'' Ro-o-ose, I''m comin'' Ro-ose
Years ago-o when I was just a poor boy
And her weathly parents didn''t fancy me-ee
So they sent my Rose away to a far off lonely place
But when it was time to lea-eave
My Rose cried out to me-ee
Remember me-ee-ee
That''s why you see-ee-ee

I will pick a rose for my Rose
''Cause somehow I know she know-ows
This love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
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'' Ro-o-ose, I''m comin'' Ro-ose
Now that I-I walk slowly from this garden
A train ticket held tightly in my ha-and
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 arou-ou-ound
For her surpri-ise

I''ll pick a rose for my Rose
''Cause somehow I know she knows
That this love deep in my heart is still ali-ive
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'' Ro-ose, I''m comin'' Ro-ose
''Cause this love deep in my heart is still ali-ive-a
