It Must Have Been the Roses (Live)

Annie laid her head down in the roses

She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons

In her long, brown hair

I don't know, maybe it was the roses

All I know, I could not leave her there

Ten years the waves rolled the ships home from the sea

A-thinkin', well, how it may blow

In all good company

If I tell another what your lips told to me

Let me lay 'neath the roses

Let my eyes no longer see

I don't know, it must have been the roses

The roses or the ribbons in her long, brown hair

I don't know, maybe it was the roses

All I know, I could not leave her there

One pane of glass in the window

No one is complainin' though

Come in and shut the door

Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore

And it's strange how no one

Comes around anymore

I don't know, it must have been the roses

Roses or the ribbons in her long, brown hair

I don't know, maybe it was the roses

All I know, I could not leave her there

I don't know, it must have been the roses

Roses or the ribbons in her long, brown hair

I don't know, maybe it was the roses

All I know, I could not leave her there
