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
