He Wore The Rose Tattoo,
To Prove His Love Was True . . .
But Hearts Can Lie, So Why Deny,
That Roses Fade And Love Can Die . . .

She'll Wait Her Whole Life Through,
Like Fools An' Dreamer's Do . . .
She'll Go On Caring For One Who's Wearing,
The Rose . . . The Rose Tattoo . . .



She'll Wait Her Whole Life Through,
Like Fools An' Dreamer's Do . . .
She'll Go On Caring For One Who's Wearing,
The Rose . . . The Rose Tattoo . . .
