I ain't got no roses everyone has roses but me We had a quarrel you called it a day Leaving me and the roses to wither away I wish I could send you a pretty red rose With me heart and my love dear all aglow I ain't go no roses Everyone has roses but me I ain't got no roses everyone has roses but me I wrote you a letter and tried to atone They were returned saying address unknown I look at your picture that I still adore And remember the roses that you once wore Now I ain't got no roses Everyone has roses but me
