Tanya Tucker - Bed Of Rose's lyrics

She was called a scarlet woman by the people

Who would go to church but leave me in the street

With no parents of my own I never had a home

And a fifteen year old girl has got to eat

She found me outside one Sunday morning

Begging money from a man I didn't know

She took me in and wiped away my childhood

This woman of the street, this lady Rose

This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man

This bed of roses where I'm living is the only kind of life I'll understand

She was a handsome woman just thirty-five

Who was spoken to in town by very few

She managed a late evening business

Like most of the town wished they'd do

And I learned all the things that a girl should know

From a woman not approved of, I suppose

She died knowing someone really loved her

From life's bramble bush I picked a rose

This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man

This bed of roses where I'm living is the only kind of life I'll understand

This bed of roses that I lay on where I was taught to love a man

This bed of roses where I'm living is the only kind of life I'll understand

This bed of Rose's.
