Edith Backlund - Rosie lyrics

Rosie, I've been drafted

I'm a solider now 'am 'bout to die

for my nation with my brothers.

Come dear wave me off,

but please don't cry

I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up

but my undying soul will fly back home

and kiss you goodnight

Rosie, when I daydream

you will be my one remaining light

As I walk my way through deserts

I will carry you in my mind.

I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up

but my undying soul will fly back home

and kiss you goodnight.

I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up

but my undying soul will fly back home

and kiss you goodnight

I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up

But my undying soul will fly back home

and kiss you goodnight

Rosie, I will try to wear my judgement

like it's a shiny crown

Do get married, have his children...

I will wait for you on the other side.
