Ellis Paul - Little Red Rose Lyrics
You put the seeds in the ground And you spread the dirt aroundSprinkle water till it's coming up roseyThen you give a happy shoutWhen you see a little sproutAnd you smell it with your little round noseyThat's how you grow a little red ro-ro-roseSo you get an ideaAnd you see it quite clearIt's as clear as a little white ponyWell you can ride it down the trailAnd it's feet will never failGive it love, give it water, give it barleyAnd tend it like a little red ro-ro-roseYou could spread the seeds of peaceTo the north, to the eastTo the south, to the westTo all the polesiesYou could take apart the bombsYou could plant them on the farmsMake a garden out of what-do-you-supposey?And tend it like a little red ro-ro-rose.If we'd all spread lovin'Not pushin', not shovin'Treat each other like that love was holyNo guns and bombs and warsWould be pointed at our doorsAnd we'd live in the garden all cozyAnd tend it like a little red ro-ro-roseYou put the seeds in the ground And you spread the dirt aroundSprinkle water till it's coming up rosiesThen you give a happy shoutWhen you see a little sproutAnd you smell it with your little round noseyThat's how you grow a little red roseThat's how you grow a little red roseThat's how you grow a little red ro-ro-rose ^
