A Poor Man's Roses (Recorded November 8, 1956) Songtext
von Patsy Cline

I must make up my mind today
What to have, what to hold
A poor man′s roses
Or a rich man's gold

One′s as wealthy as a king in a palace
Thou he's callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love
Instead of buyin' it with gold


And then the poor man′s roses
All the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I′ll never miss

And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
More than any rich man's gold

And then the poor man′s roses
All the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss


And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man′s gold
