Lyrics

  1. Just down around the corner
    Of the street where I reside
    There lives the cutest little girl
    That I have ever spied
    Her name is Rosie O’Grady
    And I don’t mind telling you
    That she’s the sweetest little Rose
    The garden ever grew

Chorus
Sweet Rosie O’Grady
My dear little Rose
She’s my steady lady
Most ev’ryone knows
And when we are married
How happy we’ll be
I love sweet Rosie O’Grady
And Rosie O’Grady loves me

  1. I never shall forget the day
    She promised to be mine
    As we sat telling lovetales
    In the golden summer time
    ‘Twas on her finger that I placed
    A small engagement ring
    While in the trees, the little birds
    This song they seemed to sing
