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
