Prohibition Rose

Prohibition Rose set on the counter

With a long day and the downer

Where's the money go this time of year

Been a long day down the ladder

A ray of sun sure woulda' mattered

You can see the pain and tear in her eyes

She said, "I've paid the sheriff, paid the begger

The lights, and the street, and the old bootlegger

Feelin' people's wild and sinful dreams

Yeah, but where is the satisfaction for a girl like me?"

Runnin' with the light of day

Sleight of hand played out to pay

A look and a wink left all her boys in the dark

What a man would do to have her

What the man would do to catch her

Oh, a cold life all this could be

Oh Rose, won't you keep 'em comin' to me

She said, "I've paid the sheriff, paid the begger

The lights, and the street, and the old bootlegger

Feelin' people's wild and sinful dreams

Yeah, but where is the satisfaction for a girl like me?"

♪

Nobody knows

Just what became of old miss Rose

Oh Rose, won't you keep 'em comin' to me

She said, "I've paid the sheriff, paid the begger

The lights, and the street, and the old bootlegger

Feelin' people's wild and sinful dreams

Ohh, but where is the satisfaction

Tell me where's that satisfaction

Ohh, where is that satisfaction for a girl like me?"
