Dr. Hook - Crazy Rosie lyrics

(Hazel Smith) They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don't care at all She sits rockin' and singin' and crazy Rosie's grinin' Won't say what she's thinkin' she just sits and rocks a doll When it comes to ladies, Rosie was first cla** Her eighteen years had been the very best 'Til she met that traveller, she called darling James Papa said he weren't fit to speak Rosie's name Papa called him Jesse James The talk was darling James took his own life And Rosie thought she'd have her darling's child But papa made plans to hide Rosie's shame Papa sent her away to save the family name Yeah he gave the son of Jesse James They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don't care at all She sits rockin' and singin' and crazy Rosie's grinin' Won't say what she's thinkin' she just sits and rocks a doll They say sometimes a tear comes to Rosie's eye Though she never has spoke since they took her child For twenty years of silence papa was to blame 'Cause Rosie knows that papa took the life of darling James Papa saved the family name They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don't care at all She sits rockin' and singin' and crazy Rosie's grinin' Won't say what she's thinkin' she just sits and rocks a doll They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby Then they called Rosie crazy, but she don't care at all She sits rockin' and singin' and crazy Rosie's grinin' Won't say what she's thinkin' she just sits and rocks a doll They called Rosie a lady until she had the baby..........
