Manhattan Transfer - Rosianna Lyrics
You know Id chase the roll around louisianatil I finally got her down in new orleansI could not be told nobody keep a hold on rosiannaSo I guess Id better show em what I meanThe man dont live in louisianaTo make me give up my rosiannaThought Id haul back in alabamaAint no ball and chain about herThey cant keep this boy from tryinIm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,Yes I willIn his big cold hand he ________________my rosiannaGot me sent up to the pen in baton rogueI caught him lyin down __________________-with a ball peen hammerYes I didWhen I left poor hank he never got up againThe man dont live in louisianaTo make me give up my rosiannaThought Id haul back in alabamaAint no ball and chain about herThey cant keep this boy from tryinIm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,Yes I willFiddle soloSo let the fact be known any mothers grown boy thinks Im funnyIs gonna find hisself a knot just like poor hankYes he willcause the mother dont live in louisianaTo make me give up my rosiannaThought Id haul back in alabamaAint no ball and chain about herThey cant keep this boy from tryinIm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home,Yes I will
