Info: Since London's Charing Cross district was a popular

hangout for "Ladies of the evening" during WW2, this

song became something of a risqu joke to English

listeners.





Rose Ann of Charing Cross, I keep your mem'ry ever-bright

Rose Ann of Charing Cross, dressed in your uniform of white

There by my lonely bed, a lovely angel stopped and stared

"That's only thunder overhead"

And that's how we met



Rose Ann of Charing Cross, the rose you gave me never died

Rose Ann of Charing Cross, it knows one day you'll be my bride

And it will live till then, until that happy moment when

I know our paths will cross at Charing Cross again, Rose Ann



Rose Ann of Charing Cross, the rose you gave me never died

Rose Ann of Charing Cross, it knows one day you'll be my bride

And it will live till then, until that happy moment when

I know our paths will cross at Charing Cross again, Rose Ann
