Lyrics
Dusky Rose
Dusky rose
Where she goes
Sweet as the river flows
Sweet as you know her
Sweet as you know
~
Dusky rose
With the tide
Like a rose
To bloom so wild
Sail on through the night
Through the dusky dark night
~
Sad when you smile
Dusky rose
Rest awhile
Like a rose
To bloom so wild
Now she's crying
Like a child
~
Strum that old guitar
Thoughts that travel far
Dusky rose
Dawn
Dusky rose
She's up and gone.
