Oh, I can go out on the town. To all the grand hotels. Going it large till midnight. With all the London swells. But it ain't any good at all. I can't help remembering. Can't help remembering. The girl I kissed goodnight behind the wall.
Oh, Rosie. Do you remember? The promises we made only last September. Why did I have to go away? We said goodbye with a tear and a sigh. And whispered all the pretty things that sweethearts say.
You promised you'd never forget me. I promised I'd always be true Oh, Rosie. Dear Rosie. There's a rose in my heart for you.
