Bed of Roses

Statler Brothers

VERSE 1

G C G
She was called a scarlet woman by the people
G D
Who would go to church but left me in the streets
G C
With no parents of my own, I never had a home
A7 D
And an eighteen year old boy has got to eat

VERSE 2.

G C G
She found me outside one Sunday morning
G D
Begging money from a man I didn't know
G C G
She took me in and wiped away my childhood
G D G C G D
A woman of the streets this lady Rose

CHORUS:

G C G
This bed of Rose’s that I lay on
G D
Where I was taught to be a man
G C G
This bed of Rose’s where I'm livin'
G D G C G D
Is the only kind of life I understand

VERSE 3:

G C G
She was a handsome woman just thirty-five

Page 1/2
G D
Who was spoken to in town by very few
G C
She managed a lady of the evening business
A7 D
Like most of the town wished they could do

VERSE 4:
G C G
And I learned all the things that a man should know
G D
From a woman not approved of, I suppose
G C G
She died knowing that I really loved her
G D G C G D
From life's bramble bush I picked a rose

CHORUS:

G C G
This bed of Rose’s that I lay on
G D
Where I was taught to be a man
G C G
This bed of Rose’s where I'm livin'
G D G C G D
Is the only kind of life I understand

REPEAT CHORUS.
