Get Rosetta On The Phone

 			    
No, no, no, no, no, please say it isn’t so
			     
Say it isn’t me your taking to that cell below
                                             
God what have I done? Why I’d have to fire that gun
                 		   
Tell her one last thing before I go


Get Rosetta on the phone, 
				     
Tell her I’m not coming home for a long, long time
See I had a drink or two when she told me we were through
      
Then I guess I lost my mind
                                                       
I shot him down, I couldn’t bare to let him take your love away
                      
Just get Rosetta on the phone,
                                                   
Tell her I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today

I know we cannot be, but if I were only free
I’d prove to my Rosetta there’s no better man than me
Now I cannot sleep at night cause I took a good man’s life
And left the one I love in misery

Get Rosetta on the phone, 
She’ll be sitting all alone where the roses (?)
And will tell that little girl, if I could I’d give the world
To turn back the hands of time
And if she said she really loved me then I gladly stand away
Get Rosetta on the phone,
Say I’m sorry for what I’ve done to her today
