Rosie Bokay Songtext
von Charlie Walker

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer)

Rosie′s the barmate at Bret Wilson's Tavern
And that′s where I'll be all night long
She pours me my label and sits at my table
And hums me a honky tonk song.

Rosie don't go to the PTA meetin′s
And the preacher has not seen her face
But the hypocrite naggin′ don't keep me from braggin′
On my darlin', Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler and a bum needs a dollar and I need Rosie Bokay.


Honky tonk life ain′t a thing to be proud of
But it's better than being alone
Everyone tells me that Rosie ain′t pretty
But I've got a mind of my own.

If not for the long night that I spent with Rosie
My days would be cloudy and grey
If I was the mayor then do me a favor
And bring in more Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler and a bum needs a dollar and I need Rosie Bokay.

I need Rosie Bokay
I need somebody to love my troubles away
I need Rosie Bokay
A hound needs to holler and a bum needs a dollar and I need Rosie Bokay...
