From the recording The Montana Kid
Lyrics
In a one bedroom shanty
there’s a lovely little lady
she is something very special to him
while he’s away
she prepares her dealings
hanging roses from the pale ceiling
Upon his return
He’s astounded by the decadence
for him though it never made any sense
Beaming with smiles
she is marvelous under the lights
oh what a life I am grateful tonight
If I had known there would be this trouble
then I would never give up your heart
There are beautiful flowers hanging off the ceiling
I will never pull them all down
I will never pull them all down
Don’t understand
the reasoning behind the deed
accepting its wonder and the caring it needs
Words spoken softly
in a rose covered living room
filled with desires of becoming your groom
Oh, All these hanging roses
I won’t take you for granted
like you always thought I would
and you say count on me
I believe I always should
pedals fall
from the hanging roses high
