           D 
I met her out in Oklahoma  
                G              D 
Down where the old Red River flows 
            G              D  
I vowed my love to her forever  
               A                D 
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones. 

D            
We walked alone down by the river  
             G               D 
Just as the sun was sinking low 
            G          D 
And in her eyes I saw big trouble  
                 A            D 
Like the muddy waters down below. 

D              G        C         G 
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey  
                         C        G   
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold 
                         C     G 
Her cheeks were red as summer roses  
                 D              G //// A 
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones. 

              D 
And then one day a tall dark stranger  
               G              D 
With hair as black as winter coal 
            G                 D 
Rode into town as night was falling  
              A             D 
And there he met my Rosie Jones. 

(Spoken) 
I woke next morning just after sunup  
To find a note from my Rosie's hand 
And it read I'd rather die than ever hurt you  
But I'm in love with that tall dark man. 

So now I walk alone down by the river  
Where my sweet Rosie used to stroll 
And soon I'm gonna join those deep dark waters  
For I can't live without Rosie Jones. 

D              G         C       G 
Her lips were soft and sweet as honey  
                         C       G  
Her hair was bright as yellow as gold 
                         C     G  
Her cheeks were red as summer roses  
                    D           G 
She was my sweet, sweet Rosie Jones...
