Lyrics:
She was a flower for the takin', her beauty cut just like a knife He was a banker from Macon, he swore he'd love her all a his life He bought her a mansion on the mountain With a formal garden and a lot a land But paradise became her prison, that Georgia banker was a jealous man! [Chorus] Every time he'd talk about her, you could see the fi-er in his eyes He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday, to keep my Rose in Paradise He hired a man to tend the garden, And keep an eye on her while he was gone Some say they ran away together Some say that gardner left alone Now the banker is an old man. That mansion's crum-ble-ing down He sits all day and he stares at the garden Not a trace of her was Ever found [Chorus] Now there's a rose out in the garden Its beauty cuts just like a knife They say that it even grows in the winter time And blooms in the dead of the night...
