Rose In Paradise
key=D
She was a flower for the takin
her beauty cut just like a knife
He was a banker-man from Macon
he swore he'd love her all a his life
He bought her a mansion on the mountain
with a formal garden and a lot a land
But paradise became her prison
that Georgia banker was a jealous man
Chorus:
Every time he'd talk about her
you could see the fire in his eyes
He'd say,"I would walk through Hell on Sunday,
to keep my Rose in Paradise
He hired a man to tend the garden,
and keep an eye on her while he was gone..
Some say they ran away together
Some say that gardner left alone...
Now the banker is an old man
that mansion's crum-ble-ing down
He sits all day and he stares at the garden
not a trace of her was ever found
(Chorus)
Now there's a rose out in the garden
its beauty cuts just like a knife
They say it even grows in Winter
and blooms in the dead of the night
