The Rose of My Cologne – The Beautiful South


Daddy was an awful drunk
	   				
Mommy was the loosest girl in town

Brother just some two bit punk
				   
Rode his Harley D into the ground

Distant friends and relatives
Each of them a problem they would share
From the in-laws to the out laws
Quietly she would soak their despair


She was one of life’s lil’ angels
				
A job that don’t pay so well

Guiding those to heaven
			     
That should’ve gone to hell

Was it really worth it?
		  		     
Only time and death may ever tell


She was the brick 

At the base

Of the house
			
A true foundation stone

She was the colour

And the sound 

And the taste
			 
And the rose of my cologne
