The Cactus And The Rose 1907 'The Cat And The Fiddle'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 06 Sep 2004

Where the prairie grass and thistle grows
lives a pretty little wild west rose.
Kissed by the morning dew
this Rose more fairer grew
closely by there dwelt a cactus gay,
to his lady love across the way
he'd plead from day to day,
with a lover's lay.

My wild west Rose
sweetest neatest little flower that grows,
you are the only one 'neath the sun
my heart has won;
where'er you grow
I'll hunt the prairie high and low
because I love you so
my wild west Rose.

My wild west Rose
sweetest neatest little flower that grows,
you are the only one 'neath the sun
my heart has won;
where'er you grow
I'll hunt the prairie high and low
because I love you so
my wild west Rose.

So this pretty Rose she lost her heart
to the cactus and they ne'er will part.
and while there side by side
he claimed her for his bride
and if ever you should chance to stray,
o'er the prairie wild so far away
you'll hear this cactus gay,
to the wild Rose say.

My wild west Rose
sweetest neatest little flower that grows,
you are the only one 'neath the sun
my heart has won;
where'er you grow
I'll hunt the prairie high and low
because I love you so
my wild west Rose.

My wild west Rose
sweetest neatest little flower that grows,
you are the only one 'neath the sun
my heart has won;
where'er you grow
I'll hunt the prairie high and low
because I love you so
my wild west Rose.
