Rosa Lee McFall

1
Out on the lonely hillside
6m 1
In a cabin low and small
6m 1
Lived the sweetest rose of color
5 1
My Rosa Lee McFall
 

Her hair was brightsome color
And her voice was sweet to me
I knew that I would always love her
And I hope that she loved me

I asked her to be my darling
And this is what she said
I know that I will only be happy
When you and I are wed

Then God way up in heaven
One day for her did call
I lost my bride oh how I loved her
My Rosa Lee McFall

Well I’ve searched this wide world over
Cities great and small
But I never found another
Like my Rosa Lee McFall

Out on the lonely hillside
In a cabin low and small
Lived the sweetest rose of color
My Rosa Lee McFall
