Rosie's Baby

Cotton Pickers


When i was a small boy,
Life seemed to be right,
I used to dream all day and night -
And i loved the taste of spring.
Everything was easy,
Friends were by my side,
Together we shared gloom and light -
Till the train fo life rushed in.
Rosie's got a baby,
I wish the child was here,
We're just two souls
In a great black hole
Year after year.
For every little thing,
There is a special time,
A time to love and a time to hate,
I swear it's not too late,
I swear it's not too late.
Sweetness under seal,
The dizzy way you feel,
When every little thing came real,
I thougt i'd found my way.
It seems i didn't know,
You leave them when you go,
And although life is just a show -
It's hard to break away.
Rosie's got a baby, …
Rosie's got a baby, …
I swear it's not too late.
