O sweet Rosie Lee like a sister to me

But you thought I was playing you smart

Jealous words won’t lie still in my heart

You saw us there dancing and you thought us romancing

Suspicion has ripped us apart

Jealous words won’t lie still in my heart

With your interpretation on my reputation

You blinded yourself to the truth

To add some more weight to your ramblings of late

Well, dear won’t you bring us some proof

How you cursed and you cried as you locked me outside

You said I was bad from the start

Jealous words won’t lie still in my heart

How your father abused and your mother accused

They said I was acting a part

Jealous words won’t lie still in my heart

O I knew when we met you’d never forget

Each pothole and bump in the road

And if I left your side what a blow to your pride

You’re that better than me, I suppose

O the doubt in me’s growing and it hurts me just knowing

Another night’s sleep will depart

Jealous words won’t lie still in my heart
