Well, I gotta girl named Rosie Lee,
I wanna tell ya what she did for me,
She took me in when I had no place to go
And that is the reason I love her so
You know why I love her, all she's done for me
I-I-I-I love her, talkin' 'bout Rosie Lee
Well she gave me food and she gave me some bread
She gave me a place to lay my weary head
And I-I-I-I-love her, I'm talkin' 'bout Rosie Lee
Well, Rosie is a girl that can't be beat
Everybody whistle when she walks down the street
She gotta shape like a tadpole, face like a bear
But when it comes to lovin', Rosie is there
You know why I love her, all she's done for me
I-I-I-I love her, talkin' 'bout Rosie Lee
Well, she's the sweetest girl that you ever seen
She come from down on New Orleans
And I-I-I-I-love her, talkin' 'bout Rosie Lee
Well
Rose 'n Rose 'n Rosie Lee
Rose 'n Rose 'n Rosie Lee

Ro-o-o-sie Lee sweet as she can be
Well Rose 'n Rose 'n Rosie Lee

Ro-o-o-sie Lee, sweet as she can be
