The Red Rose Songtext
von The Everybodyfields

When walking one day down a dusty trail in the mountain
I saw your fence and I climbed it down to the ground
On the ground I walked and on the rock there was your still
There was your still

There′s a bar in Alabama, and it's called The Red Rose
And I go there when I′m thirsty; that's the only reason I suppose
There was a man beside me
For ten long years I stayed at home
But that man has gone and left me to do some drinking on his own

And I think God is a moonshiner
His skin is gold from the whiskey in his blood
I think in heaven there is a bar room,
A place where men go forget about their wives


The sun's rising when I′m drinking, and it sets while I′m asleep
And I drag my loneliness to the next bar that I see

And I think God is a moonshiner
His skin is gold from the whiskey in his blood
I think in heaven there is a bar room,
A place where men go forget about their wives

I know I've had enough of this town
There′s not much more for me to see
But there's Bibles falling from the skies down here
And I don′t think God has time for me

I think God is a moonshiner
His skin is gold from the whiskey in his blood
I think in heaven there is a bar room,
A place where men go forget about their wives

I walked to your still, and I drank my fill on the rock
