Wlld Irish Rose

In the style of
George J ones

DUDE

They sent him to Asia
to fight in a war.

He came back home crazy
and asking, What for?

They had him committed
oh, medals and all,

to a mental hospital
with rubber walls.

They cut off the funding
oh, they cut off the lights.
He hit the street runnin'
that cold winter night.

Now the streets are the only
place he can call home.

He seems oh so lonely,
but he's never alone.

He lies there holding
his Wild Irish Rose.

This crazy old fool
in the smelly old clothes.

He could have had something
much better, God knows.
Than a half-empty bottle

of Wild Irish Rose.

A baby named Scarlet

with laughing blue eyes,
(Spoken)

has been in his wallet,
ah, way back since '65.

(Singz)
So much was forgotten,
oh so far back in time.

Way down in the bottom
of a river of wine.

(Spoken)
You know,
they found him

at Clark street,
West 25th.

They can't even find
a heartbeat.
Lord, his fingers are still stiff.
Just like they're all frozen,
he's holding her tight.

(Singz)
But the habit

oh, it's broken,
this is Roses' last night.

He lies there holding
his Wild Irish Rose.

But his soul's in a place
where a real hero goes.

Now he's got something better
much better, God knows,
than a half-empty bottle

of Wild Irish Rose.
