Good to see you again, Rosie

I know I've changed a lot since then

You're lookin' fine, babe



Three years that ain't long, Rosie

I still remember our song

When you were mine, babe



Times change, times change I know

But it sure moves slow

Down river when you're locked away



Hey why didn't you write, Rosie

I stayed awake most every night

Countin' my time babe



Oh no I ain't mad Rosie

I know you had to mind your dad

But just a line babe



Oh sure I remember then

we went off to school

Ain't that right

Well he ain't no fool



He's a good man Rosie

Hold him tight as you can

Don't ask me why babe



Yeah nice seein' you again Rosie

Me I got things to do

Well good-bye babe



chorus



chorus



Rosie down river

down river when you're locked away

Rosie I'm losing

Down river
