Lyrics

GOODTIME ROSIE


Turn the lantern up and face me
Let me see you one more time
Though your bags wait at the station
These last minutes should be mine

| Come again my Goodtime Rosie
| To this dusty Kansas town
| This old cowhand will be waiting
| Rosie, come again

We were young once and you loved me
Back then you'd be a cowhand's bride
Those old memories come so easy
With you laying at my side

Refrain

* Those old plans were meant for dreaming
* While we were staying what we are
* But as you travel through the cow towns, Rosie
* You know I'm never very far

So put your dress on now and leave me
Just like always through the years
I'm a stronger man and wiser
I won't shed a single tear

Refrain
