The Golden Rose

Well the golden rose sailed with a broken man goin' south Got on board with a woman to lead him 'round by the mouth And it's goodbye golden rose Yeah it's goodbye golden rose Well the captain who swears if he speaks it all, wears a gun Got a first mate who's never quite on the ball for a son And it's goodbye golden rose Yeah it's goodbye golden rose Wish I was back in her arms again Wish I was holding her tight Wish I was back in her arms again Safe from the night She stood on the shore and she waved to me, "Come back home" Many a night I would think of her all alone And it's goodbye golden rose Yeah it's goodbye golden rose --- The Golden Rose - Tom Petty
