Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
When knighthood was in flower
And a man wooed a maid
Beneath her sacred bower
He sang a serenade
I date, I suppose, it’s late
Heaven knows, it blows and it snows
But anyway, here goes
Refrain
Rosalie, my darling, Rosalie, my dream
Since one night when stars danced above
I’m oh, oh, so much in love
So, Rosalie, have mercy, Rosalie, don’t decline
Won’t you make my life thrilling,
And tell me you’re willing to be mine
Rosalie, mine
