We were very happy well at least I thought we were
Can somebody tell me what's got into her?
A house, a home, a family and a man that loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us to join a burlesque show?
Oh, say has anybody seen my sweet gypsy rose?
Here's her picture when she was my sweet Mary Jo
Now she's got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.
Say, has anybody seen my sweet gypsy rose?
I got wind my Jo's been dancin' here in New Orleans
In this smoke filled honky tonk they call that land of dreams
Now here she comes struttin' in her birthday clothes
Say, has anybody seen my sweet gypsy rose?
Oh, oh, baby, baby woncha come home?
We all miss you and ev'ry night we kiss your picture
Say, Rose on night the lights go dim and the crowd goes home
That's the day you wake up and you find you're all alone
So let's say good bye to gypsy, hello Mary Jo
Say, has anybody seen my sweet gypsy rose?
Sweet gypsy rose! Sweet gypsy rose!
So take those rings off your fingers and bells off your toes
Say, has anybody seen my, now you know just what I mean by
