Ma Blushin' Rosie 1900 Al Jolson

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Jul 2005

Dar's a colored bud ob beauty
dat I longs ter call ma bride,
an' dis coon am neber happy
les' his baby's by his side,
her baptismal name am Rosie,
but she puts de rose ter shame
an' mos' any night
you'll heah me call her name.

Rosie, you are ma posie,
you are ma heart's bouquet;
come out heah in de moon light
dat's sum' fin sweet lub
I wants ter say
Your honey boy am waitin'
dose ruby lips ter greet
don' be so aggravatin'
ma blushin' Rosie
Ma posie sweet.

Yo' may talk about yo' daisies,
an' de sweet forgetmenot,
but de simple little rosebud,
sets me crazy on de spot;
dar am many a gaudy flower
wid a fine high soundin' name
but de rose am my right bower
jus de same.

Rosie, you are ma posie,
you are ma heart's bouquet;
come out heah in de moon light
dat's sum' fin sweet lub
I wants ter say
Your honey boy am waitin'
dose ruby lips ter greet
don' be so aggravatin'
ma blushin' Rosie
Ma posie sweet.
