No, no, no, no, no, please say it isn’t so

Say it isn’t me your taking to that cell below

God what have I done? Why I’d have to fire that gun

Tell her one last thing before I go

Get Rosetta on the phone,

Tell her I’m not coming home for a long, long time

See I had a drink or two when she told me we were through

Then I guess I lost my mind

I shot him down, I couldn’t bare to let him take your love away

Just get Rosetta on the phone,

Tell her I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today

I know we cannot be, but if I were only free

I’d prove to my Rosetta there’s no better man than me

Now I cannot sleep at night cause I took a good man’s life

And left the one I love in misery

Get Rosetta on the phone,

She’ll be sitting all alone where the roses (?)

And will tell that little girl, if I could I’d give the world

To turn back the hands of time

And if she said she really loved me then I gladly stand away

Get Rosetta on the phone,

Say I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today
