Within my prison cell so dreary

I sit alone with achin' heart

I'm dreamin' of my little darlin'

From her forever, I must part



The rose she sent me as a token

She sent it just to lighten my gloom

And tell me that her heart was broken

And cheer me before I meet my doom



She wrote I picked it from the garden,

Where once we wandered side by side.

Now you hold no hope of pardon,

And I can never be your bride.



The judge would not believe my story

The jury said I had to pay

And with the rose in all its glory

"Not guilty" was all that I could say



Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning

To meet my Maker I must go

And when I die at daylight's dawnin'

Against my heart they'll find this rose



Within my prison cell so dreary

I sit alone with achin' heart

I'm dreamin' of my little darlin'

From her forever, I must part

  • Rhumba Boogie
    "Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat
    There's no hesitation it's sweepin' the nation
    It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way
    While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana..."
  • Im Movin On
    "That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
    Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
    'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
    You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky..."
  • The Golden Rocket
    "I was a good engine a-runnin' on time

  • Unwanted Sign Upon Your Heart

    Can't see, honey, why you done me wrong

    I can't sleep a wink..."
  • Music Makin Mama from Memphis
    "Listen to a story about a gal I know
    She's my music makin' mama, I'm her hillbilly beau
    She's sweeter than the music when she tickles the strings
    Sweeter than the flowers down in New Orleans..."
  • The Gold Rush Is Over
    "Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
    Stake out your claim now on some other guy
    I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
    But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on..."
  • I Dont Hurt Anymore
    "It don't hurt anymore
    All my teardrops are dried
    No more walkin' the floor
    With that burnin' inside..."
  • Would You Mind
