Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C](Li[G]ttle Rosa w[C]as her
[G]name and still I cry [D]in vain
My world won't be the same
since she's gone [G]from me)

[Verse 2]
[G]I have gone t[D]o visit the grave o[G]f a friend of mine
and as I walked thru the grave [D]yard
I noticed this man kneeling down
by the grave of a child
And in his hand he held a big red rose [G]and tears
were streaming down his cheeks
I walked over and [D]laid a hand [G]on his shoulder
and started to talk to him
And during the course of our conversation
[D]an d in his broken English
This is the story just as he told it to me
He said to me Mister I've walked
down the street [G]today
And I passed [D]about the
big flower [G]shop
I walked in [D]and I asked [G]the man in the shop I said
boss how much is for one red [D]rose[G]
Then he looked at me with [D]one big frown
and he says it's one dollar please
But in a buyin' buyer was well dressed
blonde lady walked in
[G]And she says how much is for
one red rose
And he looked at her with one big smile
and he says ten [D]cents[G]
[D]Now I said boss how come to [G]you to charge
[D]me a dollar for the rose
And you charged the young
lady only ten cents
Then he said look Mister you tell
me why you want the rose
And maybe I [C]give it to [G]you for not
I said boss I'm a [D]hard working [G]man working
a rail[D]road and gonna make [G]too much money
And I [D]got a little [G]girl and [D]her name was Rosa
o Rosa's just about this high boss
Every day when I'd come home
from the work
A little Rosa come running
[G]to meet her papa
And she'd [D]throw her little [G]arms around my
neck and say papa and I'd say [D]Rosa
But one [G]day boss I've come home
[D]from the work I don't see [G]Rosa
I looked [D]down by the railroad track
and I see one big crowd
I'd go down and I pushed the crowd this
a way and pushed the crowd that a way
[G]There was at my [D]feet lay my little [G]Rosa
and that's [D]why I want [G]the rose boss
[D]I wanna put it on lit[G]tle Rosa's grave
Then man he didn't say [D]not but he picked
the biggest and the reddest rose
And he gave it to me
And I said thank you boss
thank [G]you very much

[Verse 3]
And [G]though she's [C]gone you [G]see
she's still the world to [D]me
To me she'll always be that
little girl of mine
[G][C][G]
