Well I came to town from rambling around in search of company
Well I will not go, my desert rose for I belong to thee
Oh desert rose, oh desert rose come sing a hymn of country prose
Hmmmmmmmm
Well I wish I was a moonlit lake, your ship upon my wake
I'd marry you, I'd carry you and in my arms you'd stay
Oh desert rose, what can I do? I went and gave my heart to you
Youououououou
And when I die they're gonna bury me
With my desert rose and the deep, blue sea
Where the sun don't shine and the fish won't swim
They're gonna keep me in (x2)
Oh desert rose, oh desert rose come sing a hymn of country prose
How the wild wind will blow
This went and took your charm
Alright
